Flying Lotus - "Ready Err Not" [NSFW]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XDhz5kanYk First off, be sure to heed that NSFW label up there: this will almost certainly be the most disturbing music video you'll see all year.

For You're Dead! cut "Ready Err Not," Flying Lotus enlisted the talents of Salad Fingers creator David Firth to lend the track a freakish and downright perverted set of visuals. Even if you're familiar with Firth's surreally horrific style, you may find the content of the video shocking, as he arguably takes things to a new, gruesome level. But it's ultimately a match made in heaven, Firth's vision matching the grisly promotional art of master body horror depicter Shintaro Kago. I'm of the opinion these sorts of images better suit the album than Hiro Murai's comparatively tame approach to "Never Catch Me" earlier last month, but certainly both takes are mostly effective, albeit in very different ways. Watch Firth's above and revel in the messed-upness!

You're Dead! is out now via Warp and it's a glorious free-jazz nightmare! Review below:

Flying Lotus - You're Dead

With an ambitious list of collaborators--HERBIE HANCOCK, YAY--Flying Lotus drops one of his most lively and straightforward albums yet.

Flying Lotus - "Coronus, The Terminator"

As October 7th inches closer, the more psyched I'm getting for the next Flying Lotus release, You're Dead! I really enjoyed the track FlyLo dropped with Kendrick Lamar, but this new cut titled "Coronus, The Terminator" has an entirely different vibe to it.

The groove of this song comes on slowly, and there are some stunningly beautiful group vocals that grow in emotional intensity as the song draws on. In a way, it reminds me a bit of the strange stuff Cee-Lo used to dabble in on releases like his debut LP--but way more slow and dramatic, of course.

Given the track falls just short of three minutes, it's not exactly an immense experience on its own, but FlyLo's never been huge on the whole single thing anyway. Surely, this will be track that is complimented by the context of the record it's placed on, and I'm looking forward to hear how it's all pulled together this October.

Flying Lotus - "Never Catch Me" ft. Kendrick Lamar

http://youtu.be/k4Oz8UmUXbg *THIS IS A POWER 106 WORLD PREMIERE* So You're Dead!'s much-hyped Kendrick Lamar feature has been unveiled and it's just as *LA LEAKERS* stellar as you could have hoped. There was certainly no doubt in my mind that K.Dot would kill it over FlyLo's alternately *AIR HORN* frenetic and smooth, jazzy production. Now I'm actually kind of glad Kendrick took all his beats, even if *LA LEAKERS* it has resulted in the next Captain Murphy album getting put on hold. I'd really be down for *AIR HORN* a whole album of this. Listen above and *THIS IS A POWER 106 WORLD PREMIERE* enjoy!
