Lotus will issue a new album, Bloom & Recede, on August 26 via AntiFragile Music. The jamtronica quintet also shared a new single, “Time Dilates.”

Bloom & Recede is the follow up to Lotus’ 2021 studio album Citrus as well as a live release, Live Underground, which arrived early this year. Bloom & Recede is also the first studio LP with new guitarist Tim Palmieri. The prolific band previously released singles and videos for Bloom & Recede tracks “Pluck” and “Tar Pits.”

The aforementioned singles spearheaded work on Bloom & Recede and grew out of Lotus’ 2019 performance at their Summerdance festival, as the band’s Jesse Miller explained:

Jesse’s brother and bandmate Luke Miler also weighed in on the new album:

Bloom & Recede’s latest studio single, “Time Dilates,” arrived today following a live performance video of the song premiered by Live For Live Music yesterday.

“During the pandemic, Time seemed to go topsy-turvy,” Luke Miller told L4LM. “Things seemed to last forever, or be gone in a blink of the eye. This song to me has a similar split where it feels very ethereal and floaty and at the same time grounded and earthy. The live version for the video really comes to life with the extended improvisation.”
