The record is Bruner’s most melodically adventurous so far, thanks in part to his collaboration with pop polymath producer Greg Kurstin. The shift in the production cockpit is notable: Where Flying Lotus usually steers the ship into jazz experimentalism, the producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist brings a high-gloss sheen to everything. “Working with Greg was awesome,” remembers Bruner, following in the footsteps of Adele, Paul McCartney, Beck, Foo Fighters, and Maren Morris as Kurstin’s collaborator. “I wasn’t aware of how it would take shape through the course of this album...it was a suggestion that we worked together at one point, and here we are. He would complete sentences with me. We had so much to pull from between our ability to play and the equipment.” -FLOOD
