PREMIERE: Lotus - The Surf

My first exposure to Lotus was in college through a friend who listened to a lot of jam bands and hip-hop. He would forever steal the iPod to put the band on at parties, and I have to say, it was always a good move. His taste in music was a fitting measure of the group’s appeal, who has managed to bridge the space between jam culture and an array of other styles. While the four-piece mostly sticks to instrumentals, “The Surf” happens to feature vocals and tips a clever hat at the genre with which it shares a name, weaving that signature guitar sound within the song’s electronic, funk and dance base. Catch the band tonight at San Francisco’s Outside Lands, and grab their self-titled LP out September 13 on Boulder’s SCI Fidelity.
