Flying Lotus Shares “More” Feat. Anderson .Paak
'Flamagra' LP lands May 24 via Warp Records.
Flying Lotus has shared “More,” the latest single from his upcoming album, Flamagra. It lands on the heels of the soulful and swung out “Spontaneous”/”Takashi,” and sees Lotus link up with Anderson .Paak.
Nearly five years have passed since the last Flying Lotus album, the Grammy-nominated You’re Dead! Since then, the multi-disciplinary Los Angeles artist has remained in constant orbit, collaborating with Kendrick Lamar on the classic To Pimp a Butterfly, directing and writing the Sundance-premiered comic horror hallucination “Kuso,” and producing much of Thundercat’s Drunk. He’s also nurtured his Brainfeeder imprint into one of the most consistently innovative record labels of the decade.
Flamagra is a work that “sweeps up every quantum advance and creative leap of the last dozen years of Lotus’ career and takes them even further,” Warp explains. In addition to Anderson .Paak, it features (in order of appearance) George Clinton, Little Dragon, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, Shabazz Palaces, Thundercat, Toro y Moi, Solange, and more. David Lynch even pops up for an eerie narration wherein he warns that “Fire is Coming.”
Flying Lotus has also announced he’ll be taking his 3D show back on the road through August and September.
