Flying Lotus - Flamagra

Nearly five years after the last Flying Lotus album - the Grammy-nominated ‘You’re Dead!’ - and Flying Lotus’ stock has never been higher. The interim years have seen him collaborating with Kendrick Lamar on the classic ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’, directing and writing the Sundance-premiered ‘Kuso’ movie and producing much of Thundercat’s ‘Drunk’.

‘Flamagra’ encompasses hip hop, funk, soul, jazz, global dance music, tribal polyrhythms, IDM and the LA 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.

‘Flamagra’ features (in order of appearance) Anderson .Paak, George Clinton, Little Dragon, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, David Lynch, Shabazz Palaces, Thundercat, Toro y Moi, Solange and more.
