A new track from Botanist, "Angel's Trumpet," plants the seeds for a new album, VIII: Selenotrope, coming out May 19.
"The notion of a 'Selenotrope', a plant that only blooms in moonlight, was in the mental vault since 2016, as were the drums that I had recorded for when the day came", Otrebor explains. "The added solitude of the lockdown, in addition to the solitude that I normally prefer, was the conduit to entering this new place in the Verdant Realm. After I completed tracking, I sent the session to Dan Swanö, with whom I had already loved working for the 'Photosynthesis album. Dan felt that 'Angel's Trumpet' was the album's banger. So here it is to introduce you to the nocturnal floral world of 'VIII: Selenotrope'."
