With
the release of their seven-track LP, “Deafening And Silent,” lotusbliss
unveil “Heaven To Me,” their best showcase of the combination of vocal prowess
and percussion proficiency. Early in her career, Joni Mitchell was renowned for
utilizing her impressive vocal range and creative songwriting skills to craft
songs featuring vocal patterns with unconventional leaps up and down the scale
(for example, “Both Sides Now”). The three brothers who comprise lotusbliss
have no reason to remain humble when compared to Mitchell.
The skillfulness
of the drumming is most apparent during the initial 20 seconds and the final 10
seconds. Those times are bookends for equitably sharing the spotlight with the
other instruments. Most noteworthy, the bridge that begins around 2:10 features
strong guitar.
The
members of lotusbliss are brothers Seth, Josh, and Adam, who hail from Canterbury,
UK. The credits for “Heaven To Me” identify Seth Gauton as the drummer, Adam
Gauton as contributing piano and synth, and Josh Gauton as bassist and guitarist.
The band’s sound is described as a fusion of their small-town Canterbury roots
with an ambitious cinematic soundscape. The content relating to the debut mini-LP
is interesting and insightful:
“Love is a lot like the solar system. Planets moving round a central point, sometimes spinning at the same time, sometimes getting out of sync. Whether it’s romantic, platonic or familial, it’s a delicate thing. And on ‘Deafening And Silent,’ lotusbliss consider the orbital nature of love; ever spinning and ever changing. Taking everything they’ve done before and skyrocketing it, this new era is as future-thinking and adventurous as the space race that inspired it, incorporating more eighties synth details and high octane climaxes for a sounAdamd that soars about the current indie scene.”
“Heaven
To Me” is the lead track from the LP. The LP is available for purchase or streaming
