Flying Lotus - Flamagra

 

New 27-track album by Grammy-nominated artist Flying Lotus!

Gatefold double LP with printed inner sleeves

Featuring Anderson .Paak, George Clinton, Solange, Thundercat, Little Dragon, David Lynch and more!

Artist Flying Lotus says he's been working on an album concept for five years, "but it was always all over the place. I'd always had this thematic idea in mind-a lingering concept about fire, an eternal flame sitting on a hill."

"Then I went to this party and heard David Lynch saying the words that he wound up saying on the record," Lotus says. "And I was like, 'that's it, we're just going to go in that direction.'"

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 Records 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 cant 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.

Lotus is aided by a dream cast of collaborators: Anderson .Paak, George Clinton, Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, Ishmael Butler of Shabazz Palaces, Toro y Moi, and his telepathic kinsman, Thundercat. David Lynch even pops up for an eerie narration wherein he somberly warns that, Fire is coming. But they all naturally bend to the magnetic warp of Lotus spellsa transfixing hex unto themselves.
