Kula Shaker will release their first album in six years, Eclipse, next year.
Flying Lotus, Thundercat and Shabazz Palaces have all come together to form a new super group called WOKE. The band released their debut single via Adult Swim earlier this week and FlyLo spoke to Pitchfork about the project. He was asked if an album will be in the works and replied: "There's nothing set in stone. We have a bunch of ideas. There's about like nine songs kind of floating around. There's more stuff with George [Clinton], too. We've done a lot of recording over this year. I want to make sure that all the stuff that we do is in the same room together. I'm not trying to do e-mail shit; I really want it to be organic and a true collaboration."
