Flying Lotus prepping new album for 2014 release

Experimental producer Flying Lotus has revealed that he’s close to finishing up work on his upcoming new album.

The electronic musician (birth name: Steven Ellison) took to Twitter to confirm that his fifth studio record is “almost ready for mixing”. As well as this, he also revealed that there’ll be some rapping on the LP (Lotus recently dropped a mixtape under his Captain Murphy moniker) and that he’s currently “unsigned”. The latter comes as surprising news, with Ellison hinting that he could be parting ways with Warp Records.

“@iglooghost: @flyinglotus is that new lp out early or late 2014 brah?”I’m looking at a tracklist. Almost ready for mixing.

“@fuckseabass: @flyinglotus is it gonna be a captain murphy album?”… it’s a flylo album this time but the captain is all over it.

I really am flattered by the love for the captain. I honestly thought u were all gonna hate my guts and send me into hiding. So. Cheers.
