It's been half a decade since the release of Flying Lotus' last project, You're Dead. Although he's been releasing music, he's also been occupied with other ventures such as his 3D tour, his directorial debut with Kuso, and of course, producing for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat and more. With Flamagra roughly a little over a month away, he came through with two new singles.

"Takashi" is one of two records released by FlyLo today. The track was released alongside "Spontaneous" which features Little Dragon. "Takashi" was inspired by TeamLab's Takashi Kudo.

"Takashi" and "Spontaneous" are both included in the 27-track project which is due out on May 24th. Along with Little Dragon, Flamagra will also feature Tierra Whack, Anderson .Paak, Solange, Thundercat, and David Lynch who appears on the lead single, "Fire Is Coming."
