Flying Lotus More Than Cartoons
Flying Lotus is truly doing some space aged music.
If you’ve been up late and decided to watch The Cartoon Network and found yourself nodding your head then you’ve heard the abstract beats of Flying Lotus. Adult Swim uses Fly Lo’s beats as the backdrop for there sometimes weird and minimalist promo’s.
Cosmogramma is Flying Lotus’s new album that its full of lush layered sounds ,blips and complex textured beats that fall somewhere in between Sun Ra and J Dilla. It seems to be smoother and more cohesive than his last album Los Angeles (also a must listen).
The album is packed tight with seventeen cuts and weighs in at about forty five minutes, but it doesn’t feel short or rushed probably due to the complexity of the music.
O.K.,,, I know this is not an album for everyone,, but if your into expanding musical horizons past the limits gravity, check it out.
