Flying Lotus
Pattern+Grid World [EP]

Rating:

The Pattern+Grid World EP opens with what is perhaps Flying Lotus' most recognizable template: the fuzzed-out atmosphere, plod-nodding pace, streaking synths, and under-filtered R&B. But ascribing some sort of inflexible format to an artist such as FlyLo is selling him far, far short. The incredible scope of contemporary beat-music masterworks like Los Angeles and Cosmogramma should be enough to dispel such a notion.
