Fire is coming. Fire is coming. Fire is coming.
Five years after his last album, Flying Lotus returns with Flamagra, releasing on May 24th. In promotion of the upcoming album, the musician has released a new video titled “Fire is Coming,” which was directed by Lotus (Steven Ellison) and Salad Fingers creator David Firth.
In the video, a wolf puppet’s head splits open and reveals David Lynch inside, who tells a story to a group of wolf-children while his face eerily distorts and his eyes burst into flames.
No seriously. I wouldn’t dare make that up.
“I’d been working on stuff for the past five years, but it was always all over the place. I’d always had this thematic idea in mind—a lingering concept about fire, an eternal flame sitting on a hill,” Flying Lotus said in a statement. “Some people love it, some people hate it. Some people would go on dates there and some people would burn love letters in the fire. Then I went to this party and heard David Lynch saying the words that he wound up saying on the record. And I was like, ‘that’s it, we’re just going to go in that direction.’”
