UK space proggers Ozric Tentacles have announced that they will release their latest album Lotus Unfolding through Kscope Records on October 20.
The new album is the band's sixteenth studio album and follows on from 2020's Space For Earth. As with that record, Lotus Unfolding was conceived, written and recorded in their own Blue Bubble studio in Fife.
"The concept is, as usually wide and open to interpretation but basically is a sonically illustrated excursion through some of the musical realms we found ourselves in this time around," explains Ozrics mainman Ed Wynne. "Designed to elevate and delight the senses, should that be required, because if the day feels like an unfolding lotus, it’s probably going to be a good one."
At the same time the band's run of November and December joint headline tour dates with Gong has now been extended with an additional run of further dates in March.
Lotus Unfolding will be available on CD digipak, limited edition marble vinyl with a limited die cut sleeve, blue vinyl, also with limited die cut sleeve, black vinyl and available digitally.
