Flying Lotus – “Pattern+Grid World” EP (Review)


Definitely among the group of quintessential digital producers who are raising the bar, Flying Lotus can never been accused of being a bum! He never stops working. Just four months ago, he hit us with the reverent Cosmogramma, and within two months of its release, Warp Records shared “Camera Day,” which was a peek into what FlyLo was working on for the EP Pattern+Grid World.

Pattern+Grid World‘s most noticeable factor is that it’s a lot more staid in production than his previous works, notwithstanding his stellar innovative arrangements. I would even go as far as to say, Pattern+Grid+World is a sexy composition. Each instrumental comes with sounds of tremor, whether it be through the keyboards or pulsating drums. There’s even a mode of femininity to some of the tunes like, “Kill Your Co-Workers” and “Time Vampires,” but then the titles mask their sensitivity. My only real criticism of the Pattern+Grid World is its brevity; we wanted MORE!

Check out my favs from the Pattern+Grid World EP and let me know what you think. You can purchase the EP from Bleep.com; vinyl purchases come with a limited edition poster.
