New Music: Flying Lotus: "Spicy Sammich" [Stream]
Flying Lotus is best-known for his work with Adult Swim, where the L.A.-based producer made beats for their bumpers. There you have under a minute to grab and keep attention. "Spicy Sammich" holds for longer, though some of it runs on needlessly. This sandwich comes grilled-- the song sizzles and cracks for the first half before its beat comes in. Dark, wordless voices chant over the intro as well, though a little bit of this could have been cut to make way for the second half. Here the chanters present a victim, a drowning voice that gargles water in its last breath.
