Lotus explores the intertwining worlds of live electronica and rock on their new
album The Strength Of Weak Ties.
ôRefined and highly melodic blend of electronic blips and beats that are
seamlessly orchestrated with jazz, funk, breakbeats, and a pastiche of organic
global sounds.ö - BIG SHOT MAGAZINE
LotusÆ third release combines the rock edge of live guitars and percussion with
the synthetic bleeps and crushing beats of dance music ù and it works to a
stunning effect. In a live setting, Lotus plays every note; nothing is ever
prerecorded. The improvisational nature of the live show leads to a spontaneity
and excitement that just canÆt be achieved by ôpushing play.ö
Lotus ù Steve Clemens, Jesse Miller, Luke Miller, Chuck Morris and Mike Rempel ù
formed in 1999. Through non-stop touring, LotusÆ astonishing instrumental tracks
quickly garnered a huge and loyal fan base. Fans started following the act
across the country and traded tapes like they were baseball cards. This lead to
Lotus's 2002 debut album, Vibes, recorded live in concert during the Fall of
2001. The first pressing sold out in February of 2003.
