"I think it was just time at this point to work with the label that I built and work more closely with the team that's around me more. You know, we've been able to compete with some pretty big records in the world, we've been at the Grammys several times, and I think we've built a nice situation for ourselves, so why not? It's about time, I think!"
"It was like being in this hyperbolic time chamber, having to make a whole soundtrack alone. I felt like right after that I wanted to do anything but what I was just doing. So I started this project, and it felt like such a release to be able to have this place where I could just vent out some of my inner chaos."
BIG MAMA is an EP due March 6 on Brainfeeder. It marks Flying Lotus's first release on the label he founded and reflects a choice to work more closely with his team. The EP was produced just over two months after finishing the soundtrack to the film Ash, and served as a creative release following that intense scoring period. The music aims for explosive, unpredictable energy and prioritizes sound design, maximal textures, and human elements within electronic music. The seven-track listing includes BIG MAMA, CAPTAIN KERNEL, ANTELOPE ONIGIRI, and PINK DREAM.
