They Are Gutting a Body of Water originally began as the solo project of Doug Dulgarian, who established a digitally enhanced version of shoegaze which frequently detoured into electronic noise interludes and drum'n'bass breakbeats. Eventually, he embraced a full-band format, and became known for shows where the musicians face each other on the floor instead of playing on-stage. LOTTO is the group's attempt to create a raw, live-to-tape album rather than something engineered and assembled on a computer. The record's dark, crushing shoegaze songs feature cryptic, fragmented lyrics which offer perspectives on an uncertain life that feels like it's on the brink of disaster. Many of the songs seem to address drug addiction and other coping mechanisms. One of the lines that sticks out the most is when Dulgarian intones, "Your money's no good here, the bad way" during the Slint-like spoken monologue of opener "the chase.
