Lil Lotus Shares Stripped-Down Single “Blame Me For Everything (Acoustic)” Feat. Mod Sun From ‘Nosebleeder (Deluxe)’ Out March 22nd Via Epitaph Records

Today, LA-based artist Lil Lotus announces ‘Nosebleeder (Deluxe)’ dropping on March 22nd via Epitaph Records. An extension of his 2023 sophomore effort that has reached almost 4 Million streams since its release in December, the deluxe album presents five additional stripped-down tracks that magnify his charismatic tone and emotional depth with newfound clarity.  

As a preview of what’s to come, Lotus shares a fresh rendition of his charismatic pop-punk anthem “Blame Me For Everything (Acoustic)” featuring vocals from Mod Sun.  Accompanied by the inviting resonance of an acoustic guitar imbued by a swell of strings, he explores confessional lyrics with a biting lilt and delectable backing harmonies.

Believed to signify a lack of self-control or an indication of a spiritual awakening, according to Lotus, life has largely felt like a giant nosebleed. Constantly feeling drained by the people around him, solitude, or his internal demons, he took the concept into his sophomore record to generate vulnerable songwriting that tackles themes of addiction, mental health and navigates the complexities of his relationships. 

The follow up to his full-length debut ERRØR BØY (2021, Epitaph), Nosebleeder (Deluxe) marks a new era for Lil Lotus. Fully stepping into his role as a pioneer of a new generation of pop-punk, he enlists collaborators across the sphere of alternative music such as Mod Sun, Sophie Powers, Alexis Munroe and kennedyxoxo, while tapping in producers Matt Malpass (Blink 182, Travis Barker, MGK, nothing,nowhere.) and Mike Pepe (Taking Back Sunday, Charlotte Sands).  

Now more than ever, Lil Lotus finds himself fully leaning into the influences that have always informed his sound. In addition to the four stripped-down versions of songs from the original album, Nosebleeder (Deluxe) also features a surprise cover of alt-rapper Lil Uzi Vert’s 2016 hit, “Grab The Wheel”. The cinematic rendition pairs his drippy emo vocals with symphonic backing strings as he continues to “transcend the typical sonic expectations of a pop punk record” according to idobi

Known for blending diaristic lyrics, upbeat melodies, and trap production throughout his genre-defying music career, Lil Lotus’s streaming footprint has grown rapidly with 1.7 Million streams racked up in January alone and over 90 million catalog streams to date. His distinct vocal style and unconventional ear has been recognized by the likes of Kerrang, BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Apple Radio 1 with Travis Mills, BBC Radio 1 and Lyrical Lemonade, cited by the latter as "one of the most entertaining artists in the world”.
