The forthcoming Blacky Lotus release should prove to be the most groundbreaking work of the year, if it ever gets released… The group, which features former Piper the Goon frontwoman, LaLa, has stunned small gatherings in the Los Angeles metro area with their hip brand of circus jazz. While it is unclear what tracks will be on the upcoming release, which is slated for this winter/spring, it is likely the songs will all be of the calibre of LaLa’s Five Brothers and Tempted.

While the group has slowly been building a solid following amongst scenesters and record company execs on the West Coast, midwesterners like myself have been forced into an impatient meditation waiting for the release.
