Jazz-imbued beatmaker Flying Lotus has become one of the most beloved producers in electronic music, so people were understandably excited when he announced his upcoming You're Dead! album last month, even if the announcement came with few if any details. Now, more info about the LP has finally surfaced.
Throughout the day, FlyLo has been gradually unveiling the album's tracklisting via Tumblr, complete with an original drawing for each song name. Out of the ones he's named so far, two — "Cold Dead" and "Fkn Dead" — play into the album's morose title.
More excitingly, the artist has revealed some high-profile guests. The song "Never Catch Me" will feature an appearance from renowned rapper Kendrick Lamar, while "Tesla" will include work from jazz legend Herbie Hancock. There's also a song called "Dead Man's Tetris," which sees FlyLo rapping under his Captain Murphy moniker alongside Snoop Dogg.
For those with short-term memories, FlyLo was snapped in the studio with Hancock last spring.
Stay tuned for more information on You're Dead! as it becomes available. The album is set to arrive on October 7 via Warp.
Flying Lotus also has a hefty North American tour in the works, including stops in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. The full itinerary is available below.
