Cosmogramma

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Flying Lotus’s Cosmogramma is a dense, maximalist work that radically fuses glitchy electronic production with the improvisational spirit of spiritual jazz. A frantic yet cohesive torrent of sound, its architecture is built from off-kilter polyrhythms, Thundercat's virtuosic bass, and Rebekah Raff's celestial harp. Conceived following his mother's death, the album channels profound grief into a cosmic exploration of the afterlife, treating sound as a conduit for astral travel. Cosmogramma stands as a pivotal document of the LA beat scene, a deeply personal cartography of loss and transcendence rendered with breathtaking sonic complexity.
