You Made It Very Clear


Flying Lotus featuring Laura Darlington “Phantasm”

“Phantasm” comes near the end of Until the Quiet Comes, and it essentially serves as a climax to the song cycle – if everything leading up to that track suggests a ghostly presences, this cut is the big reveal. Its opening hum evokes the sensation of sleeping eyes adjusting to a sudden flash of white light; the rest of it sort of hovers in place, utterly serene yet menacingly alien. Unlike most of the vocalists on the album, Laura Darlington actually sings words, and though some are quite clear, they seem to dissipate before you process their meaning. Her presence on the track seems unreal, like some illusion at the center of the composition.

Buy it from Amazon.
