I've got the honour of interviewing Flying Lotus tonight, about his new LP Cosmogramma (on WARP): a sprawling, experimental fusion record that takes in heavy swathes of jazz, bass music, found sounds and lush, confusing layers of sonic anarchy. It's a true masterpiece, and typically for FlyLo, it consistently delivers the last thing you were expecting to hear. A lot of attention will fall on the track featuring the vocals of Thom Yorke, but for this listener, it is the echoes of the Coltrane jazz legacy that shine through.
I am really looking forward to the interview. Head on over to FlyLo's superlative BRAINFEEDER label site, and get yourself a copy of A DECADE OF FLYING LOTUS mixed by Gaslamp Killer. It's a free download, and the perfect thing to whet your appetite for Cosmogramma.
