Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (2010)



So this latest album from Flying Lotus (Steven Ellison) features: funky basslines, Thom Yorke, ping pong balls, an abundance of harp, ambient glitchiness, meowing, tenor sax, and a metric shit ton of electronic noise. Very chill and jazzy as usual. My favorites so far are "Do the Astral Plane" and "Recoiled".

Also, admire the cover art. It's by Leigh McCloskey. Up until this, McCloskey acted in many soap operas including General Hospital and The Young and the Restless. From there, he moved on to Star Trek (Voyager AND Deep Space Nine); and from there, he pursued a career as an author, writing such works as Tarot ReVisioned and Codex Tor: Winter Solstice-Part One. He also wrote a textbook of magic. Conclusion: this guy fucking rocks. Also, today is his birthday! Happy 55th, brah.
