Wildflower

Arriving sixteen years after their landmark debut 'Since I Left You', 'Wildflower' is a densely layered collage of psychedelic pop and hip hop, built upon an extensive foundation of 1960s samples. The album is structured as a conceptual, LSD-fueled road trip and features a wide array of guest collaborators—including Danny Brown, MF DOOM, and David Berman—whose contributions are integrated into the sprawling sonic tapestry. As the result of a famously prolonged production, the record combines its sample-based core with live instrumentation and vocals, evoking the cohesive yet freewheeling feel of a meticulously crafted mixtape.
