In celebration of the massive announcement, Lotus has shared a new single, Romantic Disaster, featuring Chrissy Costanza of Against The Current.
“I’ve always loved the idea of this disastrous, chaotic kind of romance – like what you see in movies or read about in books where the two are objectively terrible for one another, but the infatuation overpowers reason,” says Costanza. “As someone who has definitely had a romantic disaster or two, I was completely drawn to the idea and was so stoked when Lotus asked me to jump in.”
A whole stack of producers worked on ERRØR BØY, including the legendary John Feldmann (The Used, Panic! At the Disco, All Time Low, Blink-182) and Drew Fulk (Lil Peep, A Day To Remember, Lil Xan). It also includes two songs with pop-punk royalty, Travis Barker, on drums.
The album was born with scars of addiction, toxic relationships, and everything else under the sun. The album is the synthesis of his best efforts and worst instincts. “ERRØR BØY is about how I’ve struggled with addiction, I’ve struggled with giving myself the credit I deserve, with loving myself, with loving the ones that love me, with not pushing people away, with not running away from people who are completely there for me,” says Lotus. That manifests in songs of romance and all its perils.”
Lil Lotus dropped the Body Bag EP back in 2017, partnering with GothBoiClique collective members Cold Hart and Nedarb. He has since released more EPs and over a dozen singles, racking up over 30 million streams to date.
