I’ve never considered myself a “hip” music fan, I don’t follow hypes and buzzes and things of that nature or at least I don’t follow bands for those reasons. Lotus Plaza is the solo project of Deerhunter lead guitarist and occasional vocalist, Lockett Pundt. About two years ago he released his first album (as Lotus Plaza) entitled The Floodlight Collective to mixed reviews: before the official release people really got off on it and then suddenly bashed it, as haters tend to do; haters gonna hater. Anyway, as much as I love Lockett in Deerhunter, especially his vocals on such classics as “Agoraphobia,” “Neither of Us, Uncertainly,” “Desire Lines, ” and “Fountain Stairs,” I never really checked out his solo work, until recently. I’m really digging Lotus Plaza, so I thought I’d share it with anyone that cares to check it out as with anything I post on here that I find fascinating aka gives me a musical erection. His singing here is truly gorgeous and evokes a lot of emotion in me per usual for his vocals. I really adore the mix of ambiance and pop. Keep up the good work Lockett!
