Lotic Water

JKerian Morgan, the artist known as Lotic will release her new album 'Water' on October 29th This is the record I always wanted to write. This feels like my arrival as an artist.  Water, for Houndstooth, is a stunning revelation; a tender meditation on loves losses and lifeforce, timelines, bloodlines, and resilience. Arriving at the end of a period Morgan recalls as, having to be adaptable, while being dragged through the trenches, Water adds the haunting quality of siren song to a career already marked by its engaging emotionality. To arrive at Water meant to become like water. Lotic dedicated two years to a deep, intentional process of surrendering to softness, welcoming impermanence, embracing intimate relationships with her environment and self. Yet, to embrace vulnerability is to welcome its totality. Water is the complete embodiment of Lotics dedicated praxis; one which unpicks a certain narrative about corrosive angst and outlier musicality. Compositions curve around the sub bass of an 808, with vibrations and hums superseding clarity and separation. Drums are softened to a powdery warmth, and each chapter unfolds as a symphonic sound poem. Heartful depictions of love relationships to others and the self, to ancestry and identity, are marked by stunning new expressions of ecstatic voices. Water heals, and it harms. It can sharpen, scald or silently consume. Water is a conduit for human corruption, such as the wrenching cruelty of forced Middle Passage crossings, yet water remains a site of ritual and absolution, a source of constant renewal.
