Putting his unique spin on indie R&B,  multi-instrumentalist Satchel delivers a rich blend of soulful jazz and soft pop melodies, complemented by his bandmates: Ben Lindenburg on saxophone, Sean Tarpey on guitar, Niko Embry on drums, and Andre Swadley on bass and production.

"Brown Lotus" is a thoughtfully curated journey from start to finish. The album opens with "Balanced," featuring a lively saxophone riff and mellow guitar melody that seamlessly transitions into "Hold You," where Satchy's silky vocals shine over a low-key production. The music is both a nod to the past and a step into a new, original sound, blending influences from soul-jazz, R&B, and alternative rock.

Satchy's musical background is deeply rooted in Black music, influenced by his parents' love of jazz and soul, and later expanded by his experiences with indie and rock music. This diverse musical upbringing is evident in "Brown Lotus," where his guitar style, inspired by legends like Wah Wah Watson and George Benson, emphasizes rhythm and texture. Throughout, Satchy aims to convey authenticity, encouraging listeners to embrace their feelings and find comfort in the music's soothing, soulful vibe.
