Lotus – “Synthbuljong”
It’s always a joy to find something new from Danish label El Paraiso, and for their latest they break out of their insular circle to embrace psych-jazz outfit Lotus. The band brings together members of Fra Det Onde, Orion’s Belte, and Paal Nilssen-Love Circus. Tipping this one towards the label’s growing jazz contingent, the first single finds Lotus chewing on ripped and ragged lines that scratch and scorch atop the furious pound percussionist Olaf Olsen. Tormented guitars spar with the bite of saxophonist Signe Emmeluth, feeling like this one might just fit into rotation with the The Enfield Tennis Academy set as easily as it might follow Sonny Sharrock on the shelf. The new record, Synthbuljong, is out August 30th from El Paraiso.
