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.
