I Wanna Live On An Astral Plane

Flying Lotus “Do The Astral Plane”

Flying Lotus’ new album Cosmogramma moves with a sort of musical dream logic — half-remembered sounds from a variety of genres are skewed and warped into surreal shapes, and float along on illogical yet intuitive tangents from one sequence to the next. “Do The Astral Plane” comes in on the final third of the record, and bounces around on an assertive groove before reaching a glorious melodic crest of synthetic string textures and clattering electronic percussion. It’s a very careful composition, but it’s more fluid than fussy. It flows out with effortless grace, as if it’s just spilling out from the artist’s unconscious mind directly on to the track.
