Flamagra Instrumentals (Limited Edition LP)

Marking a year since the release of the landmark Flamagra, Flying Lotus aka Stephen Ellison returns with a new and intimate perspective of that sprawling epic - Flamagra (Instrumentals) - a treasured peek under the hood of one of today's most consistently innovative producers.

Whereas the original album featured a dream cast of vocal collaborators, this project places the masterful arrangements, electronics and musicianship at the forefront - allowing FlyLo's inimitable beats and well versed jazz heritage to take centre stage. Flying Lotus - the bandleader - bringing a nexus of generation-defining Los Angeles players - Ellison himself on keys and machines, Thundercat, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Brandon Coleman, Justin Brown, Dennis Hamm, Taylor Graves, Ronald Bruner, Herbie Hancock, Deantoni Parks and Robert Glasper - into his transcendent vision.
The dazzling harmonies, melodies, textures and tones shine even brighter than they did in the vocal mixes.
