Flying Lotus Terminator Invades Our Loop

coronus-the-terminator

Flying Lotus‘ new album ‘You’re dead’ has been received as one of the records of the year and a career high for the man who makes fusion jazz hip again. One of its standout numbers, ‘Coronus, The Terminator’, brings him back to the top of our chart, weeks after his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar did the same.

Sun Kil Moon‘s ironic song about his feud with War On Drugs is the highest entry, with new offerings by TV On The Radio; Pix; Iceage; Mogwai and Lorde‘s song for the soundtrack of the new Hunger Games film, which she has curated, all debut strong.

FLYING LOTUS – HEAVE (N)

Nearly a month hiatus since we stopped our weekly recap to attend ATP Pavement, we are back with a bumper monthly edition divided in different posts, the first of which is a selection of the best videos released during the last few weeks.

The first part is dedicated to those tracks and artists that have already been huge in our loop but didn’t have audiovisual support yet. Beginning with the exception that is Flying Lotus’ brand new track ‘Heave (N)’, a discard from his superb recent album ‘Cosmogramma’ whose quality lets you know what a beast of a record the experimental beatmaster has produced. ‘Heave (N)’ is followed by a selection of recent promos that should need no further introduction.
