Flying Lotus has announced his new album, Flamagra, his first full follow up after his groundbreaking You’re Dead LP.
Enter Flamagra – a work that sweeps up every quantum advance and creative leap of the last dozen years of Lotus’ career and takes them even further; the Warp release encompasses hip-hop, funk, soul, jazz, global dance music, tribal poly-rhythms, IDM, the L.A. Beat scene, but it soars above a specific vortex whose coordinates can’t be accurately charted. Other than to say that it is a Flying Lotus record, perhaps the definitive one. An astral afro-futurist masterpiece of deep soul, cosmic dust, and startling originality.
He’s released the first video from the project, a spoken word spacey piece called “Fire is Coming” featuring David Lynch. The other already confirmed guests on the album is insane, too. FlyLo tapped Anderson .Paak, George Clinton, Little Dragon, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, David Lynch, Shabazz Palaces, Thundercat, Toro y Moi, Solange and more.
Flying Lotus will be touring North America, Europe and Japan in the fall.
