Lotic Signs to Houndstooth, Shares New Song “Burn a Print”

In succession to her debut album ‘Power’, released in 2018 on Tri-Angle, Lotic’s new single “Burn a Print” is the accession of the previous album’s message: Once one has transformed fear and vulnerability into the consolidation of individual power, the natural next step for any reign is to establish a legacy, or in Lotic’s own words, “to burn your print into this Earth because when you go, you need to remind the future bitches that you was here.” The release coincides with the announcement of her signing to Houndstooth.

Supporting DISK Artists

Like the rest of the world, CTM & DISK are currently embroiled in efforts to keep our audience, artists, and team safe and healthy. We wanted to take a moment to express our care for and solidarity with all those affected, and our support for physical distancing measures.

While we don’t wish to minimise or divert attention away from any struggles, we do want to highlight the fact that the ecosystems that we are a part of have been hit very hard. Many in music are precarious already and are wholly dependent on income from live music gatherings. 

We are thinking about how we can best support those in our scenes. In the meantime, please consider how you can help sustain the artists you love. While recorded music sales can’t make up for lost income due to gig cancellations, Bandcamp is waiving their share of sales today, so it's a great time to directly support artists you love. Here is a selection of releases from DISK artists.

Take care of yourselves! Stay home and stay well.
