[Watch] Flying Lotus - "Tiny Tortures" (Video)

It's Flying Lotus day today, as he steps away from the cartoonish rap stylings of his Captain Murphy moniker to drop a video for the song "Tiny Tortures". The song, which was featured on this year's Until the Quiet Comes, is a trippy-yet-subtle soundscape, and that translates perfectly to the visual medium. Starring Elijah Wood, the video is described as a "cinematic portrait of the transformative nature of Flying Lotus, who collides the real and the surreal through kinetic soundscapes". Surreal is an understatement. Check it out above.

Enduring the acid-tinged hallucinations of the digital-age, this slow-motion trip explores the relationship between humans and machines. As objects move and float, we enter a visual dream world – the culmination of Flying Lotus’ vivid songwriting and Lenandowsky’s surreal aesthetic."

[Listen] Rudimental - "Hell Could Freeze" Feat. Angel Haze

London DJ collective Rudimental have teamed up with the lady of he moment, Angel Haze, to release a collaboration which is a little bit different to what you might of expected from them both. The drum beats set the tone for the song and Angel Haze's vocal soars on the track before she breaks down into her speedy verses.

[Watch] How to destroy angels_ - "Ice Age" (Official Video)

How to destroy angels_ have let loose their video accompaniment for "Ice Age" which featured on their EP, An omen_. Directed by the talented John Hillcoat the video is a dark and eerie. It sees Mariqueen Maandig singing along with Trent in the background on keys. She's staring longingly into the ocean  as if she's looking for something but what... It's a beautifully shot visual clocking in at just over 7 minutes long. Take the time from your day, have a break, put your feet up, and enjoy.

A full length effort is expected early next year.
