In an interview last month, Los Angeles beat mangler Flying Lotus told pitchfork a little bit about Cosmogramma, his forthcoming album: “I’m finally getting to the point where I can make the kind of records that I want to make— that I wanted to make when I was younger, things that I dreamed about making. It’s this fusion-y kind of thing where all the elements of the music that I love are there.”

While some were expecting the release date to be bumped to April 20, Warp says they will release Cosmogramma in the U.S. on May 4 and a day earlier in the UK.

And hey, look who’s on there! Some guy named Thom Yorke.

I really cannot wait to hear this album. Who would’ve known that Thom Yorke and FlyLo were boys?

I just happened to be listening to Mary Ann Hobb’s set on BBC1 the other night, and she had this to say about FlyLo’s new LP:

“… trust me it’s a record that will totally change the face of electronic music for all time I think- speaks in completely new sonic language altogether. It’s absolutely profound. He’s calling it ‘a space opera.’”
