LOTUS

Not to be confused with the car or the flower, electronic-rock outfit Lotus is still touring in support of its 2014 album, Gilded Age, but the band is hard at work on the follow-up. The new stuff is focused on hooks and danceability, while remaining true to the band’s roots and song structures. The first new track, “Eats the Light,” is reminiscent of Talking Heads and hints at the band’s direction moving forward. Go for the light show, stay for the music. (Jeff Hahne)
