New album 98% done
https://hypebeast.com/2024/7/flying-lotus-interview-hypebeast-magazine-33
Apparently ambient/string based with a lot more Miguel Atwood than the usual Flylo album amount. Not many beats. Which isn’t 1000% what I want for the Flamagra follow up but still excited

Oooo very interesting
I feel like I have a pretty uncommon ranking of Flylo’s discography
Cosmogramma
Until the Quiet Comes
You’re Dead!
Yasuke
Los Angeles
Flamagra
He’s never dropped a bad album though imo, he’s a GOAT

the top 3 is pretty canon no, Yasuke is pretty spicy tho
to me Flamagra ended up maybe the album w the most replay value tbh so I would maybe put it in my top 3, but also bc it's the least innovative feels blasphemous
Honestly adding Los Angeles to that I wouldn't be mad about anyone putting any one of those top they're just all so great. Yasuke I did also rly like but found a bit inconsistent tbh
Really not too hyped about this direction but this part is exciting
“There’s some stuff with Ryuichi Sakamoto that we recorded a long time ago and I’m super excited for that to come out. We had sampled his music for a Thundercat album and we just stayed in touch. The dude came out to LA and was here for four or five days. He would just come to the house and work all day and all night. We made a bunch of stuff and Miguel was here, too.”
damn
OMFG!!!!!
oh s*** I'm just getting to this post whee. always in for new Flylo especially if he says he's trying something new tbh
it maybe even started to feel like he was getting into a deadend recycling his past sounds so rly not mad if it really is
His worst easily. It’s when I realized that buddy may just be washed. Idk I’ll give him one more chance with this next one
Nah that’s Yasuke. There’s some special records on Flamagra, it just suffers from compilation folder syndrome. Yasuke is some of his weakest most undercooked stuff, I never understood why people tried to say it was some Los Angeles/1983 s***
OMFG!!!!!
I would love another UTQC type of record from him

I wouldn’t even consider yasuke a mainline flylo record. That was a lil soundtrack side piece.
Also it was a partial (albeit lousy) return to form and people kinda clung to it for that reason. Kinda goes to show just how disappointing Flamagra was

u tweaking blood. Yasuke>lameagra any day of the week. U nailed it, flame on is a compilation of loosies and s*** rappers didn’t have time to finish. Yasuke has hard ass beats and flows together thematically, like earlier flylo stuff. Best part of flaming mos is post requisite easily, which honestly should’ve just been saved for yasuke, would’ve been a fire theme tbh

I remember him emphasizing it as an album. Kinda a copout to say it’s not tbh
OMFG!!!!!
Oh hell yeah. I've been playing a lot of flylo recently too

Yeah nah I got the individual records on Flamagra I love over anything on Yasuke. Actually Virtual, More, Spontaneous, Land of Honey, Takashi, Black Balloons Reprise, Pilgrim Side Eye, Yellow Belly… I love all these songs. He can s*** out stuff like Yasuke easily, it’s not that impressive to me in the scope of his discog
You guys should def revisit Flamagra without the expectations you had when it dropped. It’s really very good
