Power (Lotic album)

Power is the second studio album by American experimental electronic musician Lotic, released on July 13, 2018, through Tri Angle Records.

The album explores themes of personal strength, resilience, and self-discovery in the face of adversity, particularly focusing on Lotic's experiences as a queer, Black artist navigating both personal and political landscapes. Musically, Power is characterized by its deconstructed club sounds, blending elements of noise, ambient, and experimental electronic music. It incorporates distorted synths, fragmented rhythms, and sampled vocals to create a visceral and often confrontational sonic experience.

The album received widespread critical acclaim upon release, with reviewers praising its innovative sound design, emotional depth, and Lotic's willingness to confront difficult themes. Many critics noted the album's cathartic energy and its ability to translate personal struggles into a powerful and resonant artistic statement. The production on Power is frequently described as being both abrasive and beautiful, reflecting the complex emotions at the core of the album's narrative.
