Flying Lotus Announces ‘You’re Dead’ LP

Experimental electronica, hip hop and everything in between at its best is what FLYING LOTUS is most renowned for. His brand of music has taken him to all corners of the world, performing to and for crowds of many.

As innovative as LA’s Steven Ellison AKA FLYING LOTUS could be, is it really possible for him to follow up with the likes of Cosmogramma being a part of his extensive back catalogue? Some claim that Cosmogramma was a part of the beginning of the beat renaissance that continues to become more and more prominent to date.

FLYING LOTUS’ upcoming release titled ‘You’re Dead’ will be nothing short of this continuation of innovation, particularly as the artist finds a conceptual connection to the work.

An ode to those who have passed, those who have experienced a death, and all who will face death, ‘You’re Dead’ is a psychedelic trip into the turmoil and enigmatic nature of the content of death, most particularly, what happens after death. The technical arrangement amounts excitingly to the transcending and almost miraculous feel that FLYING LOTUS tends to create.

“The album isn’t about the end, it’s really the beginning. It’s a celebration of the next experience. It’s the transition and the confusion. It’s not ‘hey you’re dead.’ It’s ‘hey you’re dead!’” – Flying Lotus
