Flying Lotus just revealed himself as the man behind the mysterious Captain Murphy moniker, but he's already back to focusing on his usual project. He has just released a new music video for his Until the Quiet Comes track "Tiny Tortures."

The clip for this futuristic, beat-heavy cut features The Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood. A press release describes it like this:

The David Lenandowsky-directed video is a cinematic portrait of the transformative nature of Flying Lotus, who collides the real and the surreal through kinetic soundscapes. 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. This noir nighttime fantasia — more short film than video — stars actor Elijah Wood.

Until the Quiet Comes is out through Warp.
