Behold the outstanding new short film from the forthcoming Flying Lotus album Until the Quiet Comes. I suggest watching it full-screen and with the sound turned up LOUD for maximum effect.

I’ve had an advance of Until the Quiet Comes for some time now (I interviewed Flying Lotus for a feature—maybe it’s even the cover story—in the next issue of DAZED) and it’s a real winner. Head music to be sure—FlyLo told me that his ideal listener was someone stoned and listening with headphones after midnight—the shimmering, dreamy, tripped out Until the Quiet Comes is one of the most “futuristic” things I’ve heard all year. The guy has reinvented his own (much imitated) sound and loopy beats in a way that is going to delight fans. Delight and leave them flabbergasted, it’s that good of an album. He’s traveled light-years ahead of, well, even his own Cosmogramma here. His innovative new beats this time out will be a lot harder for everyone else to copy, I’ll tease you with that much.

This gorgeous surrealistic short was directed by Kahlil Joseph and was shot on 35mm film by cinematographer Matthew J. Lloyd. Shot at the Nickerson Gardens public housing complex in the Watts section of Los Angeles. You seeing Flying Lotus for just a moment, in the car before the 2-minute mark.

The soundtrack is comprised of “See Thru To U” (featuring Erykah Badu), “Hunger” and “Getting There” (both featuring Niki Randa).

The new Flying Lotus album Until the Quiet Comes is out October 1st on Warp Records. Flying Lotus will be appearing at the Hollywood Bowl (w/ Animal Collective) on September 23 in Los Angeles, CA.
