Lotus - Monks (2013) [Out Now]

Welcome to Lotus’ monastery, where hip hop Monks slam poetic justice upon the mystical, psychedelic jazz-funk-electro-soul-jam sound that has come to define this band. Lotus’s newest studio album entices from the first track, with a heavy drum/guitar intro that drops into an electro-funk groove. Spoken lyrics and ethereal choir vocals add a particularly haunting layer, daring the listener to enter the band’s mysterious monastic masterpiece.
