Lotus Plaza is the solo project of American musician Lockett Pundt (born October 7, 1982), guitarist and multi-instrumentalist of Atlanta-based indie rock group Deerhunter. Pundt joined Deerhunter in 2005 as a guitarist. He is also the best friend of Deerhunter vocalist Bradford Cox. His debut album as Lotus Plaza, The Floodlight Collective, was released March 23, 2009 on CD and vinyl. Pundt has cited his greatest musical influences as being Stereolab, My Bloody Valentine, and Roxy Music, "on a subliminal level."
Pundt met Deerhunter vocalist Bradford Cox while the two were in high school. "I was summoned by this girl who was in a drama class of mine named Lauren. She told me that Brad wanted to meet me more or less…it was arranged to go down in the bus ports between class…And so we met in the bus port." In an interview with Pitchfork Media, Cox discussed the sensations he felt meeting Pundt for the first time: "I was attracted to him, but not in some kind of like, just physical way. I was attracted to his melancholy, his sitting alone, staring at the ground…I immediately fell in love right then at first sight." The two played together in a three-piece band known as The Floodlight Collective. "It wasn’t anything serious really, just sort of jam on stuff and have fun…It was one of the first musical experiences that I shared with other people." The band later inspired the name of Pundt's first album as Lotus Plaza. In 2005, Pundt joined Deerhunter as a guitarist; the first album he helped produce with the band was 2007's Cryptograms. Pundt's first album as Lotus Plaza, The Floodlight Collective, was released on March 23, 2009 to mixed critical reception. Spooky Action at a Distance is Lotus Plaza's second record. It was released on April 2, 2012. The current Lotus Plaza touring lineup is as follows: T.J. Blake on bass, Frankie Broyles on drums, Allen Taylor on synth/electronics, Dan Wakefield on guitar, and Pundt on both lead vocals and guitar.
