For 26-year-old Steve Ellison's deservedly hyped third album, Flying Lotus loosened the reins and set out to make Cosmogramma, which his label, Warp, promoted as a space opera of sorts.
Originally released on double cassette by Leaving Records in 2013, Knxwledge's Anthology is now available on gatefold 2XLP vinyl. This collection contains a total of 53 tracks compiled from Knxwledge's bandcamp releases from 2009-2013 (2015).
The insatiable, electrifying talent of Flying Lotus is back to treat us again. High concept beat-science is again order of the day, frazzled with invention, propelled by myriad time signatures and colour burst, cosmic-electronics.
1988 is a definitive solo work. The influence of gospel is felt more explicitly than ever. The album is quintessential Knxwledge; with it's soulful vocals and expertly crafted beats that work samples into something far greater than the sum of their parts.
The third in a series of collaborative EPs releases between Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman, Triple Fat Lice was born from touring together, where they built a connection beyond the music, resulting in a friendship that led to recording songs together.
