{"product_id":"water-1","title":"Water","description":"\u003cp\u003eJ’Kerian Morgan, the artist known as Lotic releases her new album \u003ci\u003eWater. Water,\u003c\/i\u003e for Houndstooth, is a stunning revelation; a tender meditation on love’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo arrive at \u003ci\u003eWater \u003c\/i\u003emeant 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWater\u003c\/i\u003e is the complete embodiment of Lotic’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater heals, and it harms. It can sharpen, scald or silently consume. \u003ci\u003eWater\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houndstooth","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50530630664523,"sku":"1130116","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/20aed5b6-afa3-4c26-8c72-c4e03c97b757_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728082033","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/water-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
