Cosmogramma finds electronic mastermind Flying Lotus advancing his quest to redefine jazz and hip hop music in the twenty-first century. Meanwhile, his approaches to production reach new heights and staggering proportions, to dazzling and often intimidating results. It comes as no surprise that Flying Lotus has, with his latest album, crafted an explosive and unnerving electronic album that, after repeated listens, unfolds into a post-modern jazz masterpiece. Unlike the narrowly focused swinging beats of 2008’s Los Angeles, Cosmogramma is a record about being overwhelmed. Increasingly complex rhythms and progressions pair with Flying Lotus’ flair for creating unlikely melodies out of spare parts to create an album which, elusive to genre, can only be called jazz. 
On “…And The World Laughs With You,” a jealous Thom Yorke repeatedly texts a significant other, “I need to know you’re out there/I need to know you’re out there/ I need to know you’re out there somewhere.” His cries scatter and dissolve around FlyLo’s melancholic bassline and the twists and turns of the song’s Nintendo-core synth glitches.
