Lotic is the project of American Berlin-based producer J’Kerian Morgan who we introduced with the 2018’s debut full-length Power. Water is the new album which will be out on October 29th via Houndstooth. We already shared “Come Unto me” and “Emergency”; “Always You” is a new excerpt.
According to the press release, Water is the complete embodiment of Lotic’s dedicated praxis; one which unpicks a certain narrative about corrosive angst and outlier musicality. Within Water, Lotic’s compositions curve around the sub bass of an 808, with vibrations and hums superseding clarity and separation. Drums are softened to a powdery warmth, and each chapter unfolds as a symphonic sound poem. Heartful depictions of love relationships to others and the self, to ancestry and identity, are marked by stunning new expressions of ecstatic voices.
