Flying Lotus’ much-anticipated You’re Dead LP is due out in October via Warp Records. While we’ll have to wait patiently for the genius’ new material in full, this week has been full of visual teasers and audio snippets.
It started with the release of his tracklisting. One by one, FlyLo released original art for each track on his album along with the title and artist featured (if there is one). The art is done by artist Shintaro Kago. It is sick, to say the least. Here’s a sneak peak at one, but to check all of them head to FlyLo’s Tumblr.
The tracklisting ends up looking like this, with delicious collabs with Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Llama, Snoop Dogg, alter-ego Captain Murphy, Niki Randa, Thundercat and more. Check the trailer complete with snippets below.
