VIDEO: Flying Lotus’ Audiovisual You’re Dead! Sampler
With an upcoming full-length entitled You’re Dead!, it’s only natural that Flying Lotus roped in the help of mangaka Shintaro Kago, whose guro comics often time dealt with anatomical horrors that are oddly sexual in nature, or just plain odd. As coupled with a sampler of the album’s tracks (some bits of the Snoop Dogg-featuring ‘Dead Man’s Tetris’ can be heard too!), Kago’s flurry of body horror is given a religious fervour befitting of FlyLo’s shamanic mission statement: “The album isn’t about the end, it’s really the beginning. It’s a celebration of the next experience. It’s the transition and the confusion. It’s not ‘hey you’re dead.’ It’s ‘hey you’re dead!’”
