Jun 3, 2019A fresh new comeback for Flying Lotus that takes a different turn.
Maybe the songs don’t pull you in as much as his earlier albums did, but they make up for that in tunes that you can easily listen too and enjoy. Flying lotus makes excellent use of his featured guests and an array of drums, synths, and vocals for probably the best electronic album in 2019. -
Jun 29, 2019The hero's journey told through music and sound. This album is about love and life and joy and sorrow. From the moment Fire is Coming reaches it's full intensity all the way to the dreamscape of Remind U is just perfect sequencing. This spot in the record hits me every time. Overall solid album and thought provoking as always from Flying Lotus. Absolutely loved it.

The WireJun 20, 2019Flamagra is still more accessible than either Quiet or Dead! and this is most likely due to Ellison’s choice of vocal collaborators. [Jul 2019, p.49]

Jun 5, 2019Everything on Flamagra sounds amazing. The beats are crisp and crunchy, the synths and loops are tight and catchy, the basslines are deep and wobbly and the vocals floating above it all take centre stage, but because everything sounds so perfectly measured it’s hard to get excited about the next song, as it all merges into one long sixty-two minute listening experience.

Jun 3, 2019First, there is almost nothing here that is objectively difficult to listen to. Most of the material goes down rather easily, and indeed some of it seems more than accessible. The paradox that confronts us here (and elsewhere), though, is that this is a largely frictionless experience. It feels as if the album doesn't ever get quite weird enough somehow, and there are frequent rather non-descript jazzy interludes that don't so much provide connective tissue as they merely put us into a slightly vapid holding pattern ("Remind U", "Debbie Is Depressed", "FF4", and passim).
