Apr 23, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Flying Lotus

Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison) is releasing a new album, Flamagra, on May 24 via Warp. Previously he shared a video for its first single, “Fire Is Coming” (the song and video both feature David Lynch). Now he has shared two more songs from the album: “Spontaneous” (which features Little Dragon) and “Takashi,” which a press release describes as a “mini-suite.” Listen to both tracks below.

Flamagra is the first Flying Lotus album in five years, since 2014’s You’re Dead! The album also features Anderson .Paak, George Clinton, Little Dragon, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, Shabazz Palaces, Thundercat, Toro y Moi, Solange, and others.

Ellison had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “I’d been working on stuff for the past five years, but it was always all over the place. I’d always had this thematic idea in mind-a lingering concept about fire, an eternal flame sitting on a hill. Some people love it, some people hate it. Some people would go on dates there and some people would burn love letters in the fire.”
