Flying Lotus Sets North American Tour

In addition to playing a midnight gig last night at SXSW, Flying Lotus has announced a spring North American tour, including a stop at New York's Terminal 5 on May 5 accompanied by Ultraísta and Thundercat.

First Listen: Flying Lotus, 'Until The Quiet Comes'

For nearly a decade, the electronic composer has churned out living, breathing collages of hip-hop, dubstep, jazz and blues. Out October 2, Flying Lotus' new album beats with a heart unique to its creator: adventurous but never muddled. Listen to Until The Quiet Comes streaming now via WFUV and NPR Music.

Flying Lotus Releases A Short Film Featuring Songs From Upcoming Album

Flying Lotus and director Kahlil Joseph have collaborated on a short film, 'Until the Quiet Comes,' which features music from the L.A. musician's upcoming album of the same name, out on October 2 (October 1 in the UK) on Warp. After the jump, watch the nearly 4-minute movie, but be forewarned — despite a dreamy, atmospheric score — of some violent imagery (although nothing that much different from an average episode of "NCIS" and far more meaningfully and emotionally rendered).

Listen: Flying Lotus' 'See Thru To U' With Erykah Badu

Flying Lotus' second album Until The Quiet Comes, which features collaborations with Thom Yorke and Laura Darlington, won't be released until October 2 in the States (October 1 in the UK/EU), but the experimental Los Angeles-based producer has released a teaser track from the record, "See Thru To U," featuring Erykah Badu.
