Los Angeles by Flying Lotus

12/22/2008

"Los Angeles," the first full-length release from Flying Lotus (Steven Ellison), is a blippy-er, squeaky-er follow-up to his 2006 release, "1983." You may have heard his sound (featured on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim segues), a loungy, low-key Nintendo timbre with a steady but lilting crackle-and-pop beat, and an unmistakable influence from hip-hop producer J Dilla (also Adult Swim).
