Bleeding For Your Art With LIL LOTUS

Interview by Kris Peters
LA based alternative artist Lil Lotus recently unleashed his second album Nosebleeder via Epitaph Records, building on the promise shown on his debut effort ERRØR BØY.
Nosebleeder sees Lotus collaborating across the sphere of alternative music, including Mod Sun, Sophie Powers, Alexis Munroe and kennedyxoxo. Determined not to be restricted by any one genre or subgenre, Lil Lotus has expressed a desire to work with as many different artists as possible, an aim which has led to him being invited by Ocean Sleeper to join them this April and May for their Lonely Love Australian Tour.
HEAVY caught up with Lil Lotus earlier this month.
"I've never been (to Australia)," he revealed excitedly, "so shout out to Ocean Sleeper and Deficit for having us out there. I think it will hit me when I'm on that 20-hour flight (laughs). I've always wanted to go to Australia. We've always talked about it. It's really weird, because Australia was always up there on my top places of people listening, and this opportunity came up, and it was like fuck yeah, let's do it."
In the full interview, Lil Lotus expressed excitement and apprehension about his upcoming first tour of Australia, particularly regarding the wildlife. We discussed the comprehensive nature of the tour, covering various cities in Australia, sharing funny stories about Australian wildlife.
Lotus discussed the evolution of his music, highlighting the shift towards a more band-heavy sound and the positive reception of his latest album, Nosebleed. He also reflected on his diverse musical career and emphasized the importance of experimenting with music while staying true to his artistic identity.
