Flying Lotus

Spirit Box Flying Lotus RSD 2025 edition

Limited release of Spirit Box, available for the first time on vinyl.

Fans of Flying Lotus know very well that Steven Ellison draws from a wide variety of influences in his art. On Spirit Box, his latest EP, the influences remain as disparate as ever, resulting in what might be, for him, his most idiosyncratic project thus far. In the past, outer space, anime, and Jean-Michel Jarre would play into a FlyLo project. This time around, Ellison turns to the supernatural, the underrated, and the mystical.

Ellison used this EP to morph his sound into something new; as someone who’s been a trailblazer for nearly two decades, he’s just starting out on a new path that plenty others are sure to follow knowing that a visionary is at its helm.

This is a 2025 Record Store Day release.
