Lotus Plaza

Recommended Posts

Lockett Pundt of Deerhunter has a side project under his [i]nom de plume[/i] Lotus Plaza. He recently toured, and I caught the July 17 show in Boston at the Brighton Music Hall.

Very solid performance, I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys well-crafted guitar-layers and wall-of-sound shoegaze that's by turns poppy and garage-y. Here are two tracks that he played when I saw him in Boston.

From his first release, [i]The Floodlight Collective[/i], here is the effervescent [url="https://www.box.com/s/757c24eb51cb446c37e1"][b]What Grows?[/b][/url] He closed his set with this one -- it's much more of a rocker live.

His latest release, [i]Spooky Action At A Distance[/i], has been getting a lot of positive attention in the music media, especially over at [url="http://pitchfork.com/festivals/chicago/2012/lineup/34-lotus-plaza/"]Pitchfork[/url]. I highly recommend the entire album, but here is one of my favorite tracks from [i]Spooky Action[/i], [url="https://www.box.com/s/9aa87094308b0d8a8b22"][b]Monoliths[/b][/url].

Enjoy~ :thumbsup:

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
