MP3 of The Day: Lotus Orchids (Album Leaf Remix)

Posted by jaybird | Filed under MP3 of The Day

Lotus kicks off their Winter 2012 Tour on Valentine’s Day in Covington, KY at the Madison Theatre. One of the anticipated tour stops is the return of Lotus to their birthplace in Goshen, IN and a bill in Chicago at the Congress Theatre which features Conspirator (featuring Aron Magner and Marc Brownstein of The Disco Biscuits and Chris Michetti of RAQ) and Emancipator.

While fans await for tour, the band has offered up a free download of “Orchids” remixed by The Album Leaf. Lotus describes the reasoning for this track by stating…

“We’ve been fans of The Album Leaf going back a number of years. During the summer of 2010 we played 3 shows with the band and met Jimmy LaValle (the main mind behind The Album Leaf). His compositions have a unique ability to bring a very human and affecting element to music that is steeped in electronics. We decided he should remix one of the least electronic compositions from the Lotus album “Orchids.” LaValle created a mix that combines the lush strings and guitars of the original with The Album Leaf’s signature approach to atmosphere and beat to create a track that invokes a sepia-filtered, cinematic nostalgia.”
