Lotus is setting the stage to take the group to the next level. The band has refined their approach to music through heavy regional touring, resulting in a sound that strikes both the body and the mind with energetic dance beats and cerebral sonic textures. Time off in December was spent writing a cache of new songs, and now the organizational wheels have been oiled and the machine is ready to roll. Lotus is taking their vibe out across the entire country, traversing from Pennsylvania to the Pacific Ocean and everywhere in between.
