Podcast: Flying Lotus’ New Year’s resolutions


Listen Later

One of the reasons Flying Lotus hasn’t released an album since 2019’s Flamagra is because he’s spent the last 5 years directing a sci-fi horror movie called Ash, starring Aaron Paul. Today he’s announced a new EP – a maximalist collection of tracks called Big Mama, the first to be released via his own Brainfeeder label, which has been releasing others since 2008.

On this episode of the Loud And Quiet Podcast, FlyLo reflects on what making a feature film takes out of you, and how Big Mama came to be from a desire to not write music but sound.

More music (new and old) is on its way in 2026, including a reissue of FlyLo’s long-out-of-circulation 2006 debut album 1983, which fans have had to find on YouTube until now.

Recorded at the end of 2025, we also get into his new year’s resolutions, which range from profound self improvement to hanging out with a big reptile.
