Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
Ambient noise mellow atmosphere + instrumental hip hop beats with a broken sense of structure = Los Angeles, the 2nd full-length album from Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison). "Los Angeles is also prone to letting its beats hang loosely in the air", says one review from Pitchfork.
I think what I like most about the album is the ambient, mellow mood it creates, all while cracking & fuzzing enough to not sound too snobby. I can't remember how I found Flying Lotus this year, his sound is strangely reminiscent of fellow hip-hoppers, Madlib, MF Doom, etc., but this album at times displays such a crisp & sharp focus, while still not trying to0 hard to sound cool.
