Genre-blending artist, actor, and filmmaker Flying Lotus has unveiled a surprise EP titled Spirit Box, his first non-soundtrack project since 2019. Stream it below.
While Steven Ellison (Flying Lotus) is often inspired by influences from anime to outer space, Spirit Box pulls from the mystical and supernatural. According to a statement about the eight-track offering, “Spirit Box arriving near Halloween is no coincidence — it’s a time where everyone gets the chance to transform into something different, something surprising, maybe even something scary.”
The versatile creator has used this project as an official foray into house music, highlighting elements of dance and electronica more than ever before. Spirit Box was preceded by a pair of singles, “Ingo Swann” and “Garmonbozia,” and the full project offers plenty of the jazzy, avant-garde energy typically featured throughout a Flying Lotus album.
Earlier this month, Flying Lotus revealed the trailer for Ash, an upcoming science fiction thriller starring Eiza González and Aaron Paul set to his theaters in 2025.
