Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes (Short Film) [Video]

As Flying Lotus prepares to release his highly anticipated LP, "Until The Quiet Comes", the LA producer collaborates with Kahlil Joseph on this abstract short film of the same name. Filmed in the Nickerson Gardens Projects in Watts, the narrative features Flying Lotus in a turnt up lowrider as he resurrects a young dancer (Storyboard P) wearing a "J Dilla Changed My Life" t-shirt with his ambient sounds. The storyline seems to parallel what FlyLo has managed to accomplish in the last few years by reviving a generation of new producers by building off the late great J Dilla's legacy with his progressive and soulfully inspired music. Watch the phenomenally orchestrated short film and pre-order "Until The Quiet Comes" below!
