"Steven Ellison, who has performed under
the Flying Lotus moniker for nearly 20 years, emerged from a Twin Peaks
binge inspired to explore the outer reaches of his imagination,
returning to the studio to work as a solo recording artist for the first
time in a half decade. Letting David Lynch's murky netherworld spill
out his subconscious, Ellison conjured “Garmonbozia,” a single that
creeps forward on waves of chilly synths and tense bass—a sound that
threatens to veer into darkness yet never quite does. Flying Lotus
chooses the light throughout Spirit Box, populating the EP with playful
excursions into house and neo-R&B, teaming with Dawn Richard on the
shimmering “Let Me Cook” and Indian singer Sid Sriram on “The Lost
Girls.” The bustling nocturnal vibe of the latter teams nicely with the
subdued crawl of “Ajhussi” and the insistent pulse of “Ingo Swann,” each
lending Spirit Box a sweep that feels vivid and cinematic.
