Flying Lotus is about to welcome his new album, Until the Quiet Comes next week (10/2) via Warp. As the album title implies, it’s a “quieter” record than the maximalist Cosmogramma, but it’s just as fleshed out and compelling. You can stream the album ahead of its release date at NPR. The video for “Putty Boy Strut” can be watched below.

As mentioned, FlyLo will be supporting the album with a tour that hits NYC on October 7 at Terminal 5 with Thundercat and other Brainfeeder artists. Tickets for that show are still available. That’s the first date club date on his tour, but he’s since revealed that the tour will kick off with a “take over” of LA and NYC surrounding that date.

In NYC, he’ll appear at the Warp booth at the Brooklyn Flea Record Fair on October 6, where he’ll be signing copies of his new album. That’s free and the booth will be open from 11 AM to 6 PM. The day after the T5 show, he’ll play a Red Bull Music Academy Takeover for Boiler Room NYC (10/8) with a great lineup of Questlove, Flatbush Zombies, Just Blaze, Joey Bada$$ & Pro Era, and The Underachievers. That show is guest list only but you can watch it live at boilerroom.tv. On October 9 he’ll partake in the “Meet the Musician” series at Apple Store SoHo where he’ll give a talk and also perform. That show runs from 6-8 PM and is free but space is very limited.

Lastly, he’ll do two events on October 10, including the East Village Radio Takeover, where Flying Lotus and Brainfeeder artists Gaslamp Killer, Martyn, Dorian Concept, Jeremiah Jae, Taylor McFerrin, and The Underachievers will take over two hours of air time on East Village Radio from 2-4 PM to preview their showcase which happens later that night at new Brooklyn venue Villain (50 North 3 St). That show is also presented by the Red Bull Music Academy and features the same lineup (UPDATE: FlyLo is not confirmed) as the radio takeover plus “very special guests.” No ticket info for this show at the moment.

An updated list of Flying Lotus dates and the video for “Putty Boy Strut” are below.
