Norman Wong/Jules Schill It's a real puzzle to me why Toronto's Snowblink aren't huge, and I mean huge in relative Canadian indie terms, not absolute household name terms, I'm not delusional. Their 2011 debut Long Live was an unqualified art-folk jewel , as simple and homespun as it was rich and complex, and not content to simply let the record speak for itself, they also toured it across North America and Europe, supporting not only some A-list Canadian talent but Wilco's Jeff Tweedy on his Spring 2011 solo tour. [...]
Theophilus covered a Wang Chung song. Azealia is still sexy as hell. Purity Ring turned trap trippy. Flying Lotus, Earl, and a suspiciously Tylerish-sounding dude named Captain Murphy joined forces for the most mind-meltingly blunted jam I've heard in months. The xx came back to save us all, and Ariel Pink went all folky, '60s parents-pop on us. Jacques Greene kept it settled while TNGHT smashed us in the fucking face. Not to mention, Passion Pit came with a gorgeously constructed collection of candy-coated pop songs that, despite occasionally sounding like the audio equivalent of rainbow sherbet, are actually super [...]
My guess is that Captain Murphy is Flying Lotus ' rapping alter ego, with help from Tyler the Creator , and Earl Sweatshirt . "Mighty Morphin Foreskin" exists in the same realm as Quasimoto , and this tweet / this tune /the Sealab 2021 reference will have me surprised if it's somebody else. Ending with a snippet from the Heaven's Gate exit on an [...]
Posted at 1:30pm, 7/25/2012 This fall, Flying Lotus will release Until The Quiet Comes , the long-awaited follow-up to 2010's Cosmogramma . The album, featuring guests Erykah Badu, Laura Darlington, Niki Randa, Thundercat & Thom Yorke, is set for release on October 1st 2012 on Warp Records. Flying Lotus also recently hooked up with Adult Swim for their Singles Program , releasing a single this week titled "Between Friends." Adult Swim will be releasing 12 tracks from a wide range of artists for 12 straight weeks. We've [...]
Today, Flying Lotus released a spacey track called "Between Friends" for the Adult Swim Singles Program series. The song features Flying Lotus' transcendent style of producing with features from Earl Sweatshirt and a mysterious rapper named Captain Murphy. I know what your asking, Captain Murphy? While the mystery continues, my guess is that Captain Murphy's verses are Earl Sweatshirt with [...]
Adult Swim just premiered Flying Lotus' new single on their 2012 Singles Program . The track entitled Between Friends features Earl Sweatshirt and Captain Murphy and a nice chilled out hip hop beat from the man. Flying Lotus dials it back a notch to let the vocal work shine through but you can't help but focus on the background beat. It definitely maintains that classic Flying Lotus sound but he seems to take on a simplified production style. The artist revealed on a recent Mary Anne Hobbs interview that he took on a more focused and quieter [...]
Here's a new track from Flying Lotus and Earl Sweatshirt, that's a part of Adult Swim 's ongoing single series. The prodigious Odd Future rapper lays down some windy bars over the jazzy, spaced-out, hip hop-inspired FlyLo production. MP3: Flying Lotus: Between Friends (feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
Needless to say it's another Odd Futurite who's gone on to pick up every last plaudit these past few weeks as though they were but dropped conkers come autumn, although in teaming up with Steven Ellison, or Mr. Brainfeeder , or Flying Lotus the potty-mouthed, baritonally voiced Earl Sweatshirt has put himself on the intricate mappings of the internet too. The sixth and latest release in Adult Swim's 2012 Singles Program (which already includes contributions from The Field and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, amongst others) is entitled Between Friends, and represents a [...]
Download the new single by FlyLo + Earl for Adult Swim : mp3: Flying Lotus :: Between Friends (feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
Here's the latest from Adult Swim's Singles Program series, a track featuring Earl Sweatshirt and "Captain Murphy" (Maybe Tyler? Maybe just a slowed-down Earl?) rapping over some thick, heavy-lidded production from Flying Lotus. It brings to mind the DOOM/Danger Mouse collab The Mouse And The Mask , a connection that's reinforced by the presence of Adult Swim's affiliation with that record. Download it below. Read More...
