Flying Lotus' Steven Ellison tells me a story about a dream he had recently. He was stuck in a building, searching for an exit, and every time he found one, something new would pop up to obstruct his path again. Over and over, something—or someone—wouldn't let him leave. He was trapped. If you believe that dreams carry symbolic meaning—and Ellison does—that's the sort of message from the subconscious that indicates that you might be deeply conflicted about something in your life.

One of the better tracks off Flying Lotus' Pattern + Grid World EP is "Kill Your Co-Workers." Today, the buzzing video game-sounding tune gets a crazy video. In the clip, animated robots destroy people holding up weird signs at a garish parade. Pretty funny stuff for a Monday morning. More

Until the Quiet Comes
Warp
Oct 02, 2012
By Ryan Hamm
While it would normally be a criticism to describe someone's newest album as being similar to past efforts, that's not the case with Flying Lotus. The sonic space he specializes in creating is so unique and broad, it's probably not possible to overplay it. Every track and sound feels new and experimental; much of Until the Quiet is so wonderfully weird, there's no way for it to be boring. It's another wildly successful effort from one of hip-hop/jazz/electronica/DJ culture/indie music/[fill-in-the-genre-blank here]'s most creative stars. More
