It’s a record thought of by its progenitor – Steven Ellison, AKA Flying Lotus or even FlyLo – as “a collage of mystical states, dreams, sleep and lullabies”. That might not come as a surprise to fans of 2011’s widely acclaimed Cosmogramma (the result, in part, of Ellison taking the powerful hallucinogenic DMT shortly after his mother’s death, as he told the Observer at the time).
Does this new Flying Lotus album mark a further journey into inner space? It certainly sees Ellison straying further from his hip-hop roots and into … jazzier territory (but then given he’s related to the late John and Alice Coltrane, this figures). Plus, do his guests – including Thom Yorke and Erykah Badu – add weight to proceedings?
You decide. And let us know what you think in the thread below.
