Big Mama (EP)

Big Mama is the eleventh extended play (EP) by American musician Flying Lotus. It was released through Flying Lotus' own record label, Brainfeeder, and also being his first project to be released, on March 6, 2026. Following multiple projects including the sci-fi film, Ash (2025), Flying Lotus returned to producing electronic music, with a desire to experiment using FM synthesis and spending two months on producing 10-15 seconds of music per day for two months, evolving into the sonic abrasiveness of Big Mama.

Solely produced by Flying Lotus with mastering by American DJ Daddy Kev in New Zealand, the former visualized images of "getting shout out of a cannon", inspiring the EP's artwork created by Christopher Ian Macfarlane. Inspired by the '90s cartoons The Simpsons and The Ren & Stimpy Show, Big Mama's design conceptualizes around the titular character, "a bomb with a big booty", who destructs a futuristic city. Big Mama's design was interfered several times on the size of her butt to make it a priority of the cover.

Released with an accompanying animated short film and no singles, Big Mama received mixed reviews from music critics, crediting its experimental approach while criticizing its production for its perceived setbacks of rushed ideas and its constantly conflicting tracks. Big Mama is also accompanied with an animated stop motion short film, released in blue-colored vinyl, and features an additional track that contains the whole EP but in a full unseparated mix.
