Satchy- Brown Lotus

Pasadena based Satchy quickly embedded his take on indie R&B into my mind and soul with his newest album Brown Lotus. Here’s to his GGT debut.

This Californian multi-instrumentalist sparsely uses his voice on pieces yet manages to preach volumes to the listener with his guitar’s rhythm, lively saxophone and old-school drum and snare patterns. He and his band clearly grasp the concept that the voice should be a compliment to a track, as opposed to an overbearing shadow that hinders the listener from fully immersing themselves in this genres multidimensional acoustical offerings.

This albums layout is smoothly curated from beginning to end. An example of this can be seen in how “Balanced,” the albums introductory track, with its brightly colored saxophone riff and mellow guitar melody feed into “Hold You,” the albums second track, which brings Satchy’s silk like vocals on top of a low-down key based production.

Overall, I can confidently say Satchy, along with his band, is one talented musician. Listen to Brown Lotus down below.

Last year around this time i tried to work through my writers block. it was the worst writers block ive had in a long time and many times when i tried to write a song i would just quit mid way but with this record i really challenged myself to keep pushing on and to challenge myself and my band more. With that mentality I created "Brown Lotus". i really wanted to make a record that felt like everything i love from the sight of the sun shining in my room to the sounds of jazz and hip hop. The reason why i choose Brown Lotus as the album title is because I wanted this project to represent growth and up rising not only within my self but with in the music. Thank you to everyone that worked on this record with me as well as supported me it all means so much.
