The Berlin musician has dropped the dark Matt Lambert-directed video Hunted online.
On the three-minute visual, Lambert explained, “We had this spontaneous idea of a cursed deity whose strength and sexual energy is fuelled by the souls of bougie white boys they seduced and then murdered ritualistically in a small beach resort town. It’s a high-camp and very abstract take on Queen of the Damned meets Lost Boys meets Otto.”
The single is from Lotic’s debut album Power, due to be released on limited edition vinyl on 13 July via Tri Angle Records. The follow-up to 2015’s two EPs Heterocetera and Agitations, Power is in part inspired by Texan marching bands and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between The World And Me.
“It originally started as an empowerment album,” Lotic said via a press statement. “I felt that I needed to offer something outside of myself, as sort of a healing moment. And then I lost my apartment.”
“Mentally, I could only work on music once every three months or something. The question of what would be empowering – the answer to that changed so often over a two-year period. I had to figure out who I was all over again. With this record, I went back and incorporated all of my musical selves.”
