Release Notes:

With two critically acclaimed albums behind them in the 2003 self titled debut
and 2007 s follow up Artemisia , the band took time to work on the material
that makes up The Lotus Effect

Musically The Lotus Effect is the most diverse effort yet from Sun Caged
containing both the heaviest and most mellow things the band has done. Moments
of complex poly-rhythm contrast with very groove based melodic parts, and of
course brilliant solo sections, and singable choruses all which give the band
their own distinctive sound

Lyrically the album tries to find themes in specific stories and circumstances
that can be extracted and turned into universal and relatable feelings and
ideas. Politics, relationships, personal reflection, intertwined with modern
interpretations of concepts found within ancient eastern philosophies. In short
the lyrics try to find deep meaning in simple everyday truths, without preaching
or sounding grandiose or pretentious or telling anyone what to do or think
