Lotus - Destroyer (Official)

Destroyer and Ridalin were recorded during the making of Lotus's new album to be released this fall. Working with Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man) and David Wrench (Caribou, Bat for Lashes) the band recorded a large batch of tracks over the last two years. These are the first recordings from those sessions to be released.




Lotus is able to encapsulate a small piece of their cathartic live shows on the studio version of Destroyer. The composition draws inspiration from American post-rock and 70s Krautrock with dual distorted guitars slowly building over a driving beat. The force of destruction is one of transformation here -- the music is not mournful, it is celebration and release.
