Flying Lotus at House of Blues

Share

Steven Ellison’s (a.k.a. Flying Lotus) fourth full-length album, “Until the Quiet Comes” comes after 2010’s “Cosmogramma” and a sea change in the American electronica scene. “Cosmogramma” was indebted to the astral free-jazz legacy of his family (his aunt is Alice Coltrane and his cousin is saxophonist Ravi Coltrane). It raised his profile considerably, featuring contributions from Erykah Badu and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. “Until the Quiet Comes” is a sleeker, uncluttered pivot from that sound. The ferocious restlessness of his previous work here is honed to a sadder, gimlet-eyed (or to be more accurate, prescription-strength-marijuana-eyed) world of daydreams. House of Blues, 8430 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood. 9 p.m. Sat. $28. (323) 848-5100; https://www.houseofblues.com.
