Lotus Eater serves as the third preview of their new album, 'Night Life', which due out on March 21. Offering atmospheric, Brian Eno-esque electronics underpinned by clubby beats, it follows the record's previously unveiled cuts Trial By Fire and The Silence That Remains. The band commented:
"Lotus Eater has had several past lives. It was one of the first songs from the 'Night Life' sessions that we felt really excited about - Rhys’ original lyric had a feeling that made me think of 5 Years by David Bowie, and I started to build on the idea.
"A lotus eater lives in a state of blissful ignorance, and the song to me describes the moment of coming back to reality. We wanted it to have a feeling of both melancholy and euphoria, letting go of the past and starting again.
"The spoken word section was improvised in the studio, and the mid-section of chopped-up electronics came from Amelia’s world of synth programming. It feels almost like a sister track to Sea Within a Sea in some ways, and it’s one of our favourite songs on the new album."
