I ’m sorry to lead you astray , heartfelt reader . Unfortunately , the album which I ’m cite in the newspaper headline does n’t really strike down for another month and a one-half . But it ’s because of this album — or more specifically — this album ’s vexer trailerthat has me ravenously ingest all things Flying Lotus .
In the somewhat NSFW picture below , Flying Lotus sums up in 2 moment what he musically does in force , which is pretty much everything . The audible chaos has a strange structure and flow , even as the video weaves in and out of the upcoming record album ’s 19 - song tracklist . That chaos is as adjoin with the mesmerizing and cruel images that accompany them .
Flying Lotus , aka Steven Ellison , utterly hold a genre . Is this fusion jazz ? Hip hops ? Electronica ? Rap ? Soul ? To think someone could be so multifaceted but also not leave alone you behind in the music ’s undefined wake speaks to Ellison ’s skill . Also , the guest appearance on these track give you a sense of how much deference he ’s pull together as he gets vocal and musical contributions from Kendrick Lamar , Snoop Dogg , and Herbie Hancock to name a few .
You ’re stagnant may not be useable this even ( October 7th ! ) for your listening pleasance , but I do come acquit a little gift . Yesterday , the BBC ’s Gilles Peterson spoke with Flying Lotus , who debuted an coming song titled “ Moment of Hesitation , ” a idle words melody in quislingism with Herbie Hancock . you may listen to that songhereand skip until about 01:11:10 . you’re able to also join me in my obsession by exploring Ellison ’s former oeuvre . It ’s more than enough to view as you over until October . [ Grooveshark / Spotify ]
