Steven Ellison, the LA-based artist and producer otherwise known as Flying Lotus, is constantly working, the sort of guy you imagine sitting around the studio at 3 a.m., huddled over his MacBook. "I would be," says Ellison, 29, "if I could stay up that late."
Ellison's fine new album, "Until the Quiet Comes," is his usual admixture of hip-hop, jazz and supercharged electro. It's a more reserved, human-scale project than his last release, "Cosmogramma," and it comes with an enviable marketing tool: a violent, gorgeous, almost balletic accompanying video with nearly 700,000 hits on YouTube. Among Ellison's other projects, which may or may never see the light of day: a trap album; a collaboration with Beck that's almost 2 years old and still unmixed, so FlyLo doesn't have much hope for it ever emerging; a drum and bass album; and a collection of film cues for the imaginary movies playing in his mind.
9 p.m. Tuesday at Metro, 3730 N. Clark St.; $21 (18+); 773-549-4140 or etix.com
