Though it's nearly two years old, Flying Lotus's excellent 2012 album Until the Quiet Comes is holding up well. As such, the album's "Phantasm" has been treated to a new music video.

While "cinematic" is a go-to adjective when describing well-made music videos, this one truly comes across like a masterful sci-fi film. Here's the best description we can muster: A black figure travels across the desert before a mop-like dog-being unravels its costume, revealing that the black figure has an ocean and fireworks for a body.

Yeah, it's probably better if you just watch the video for "Phantasm," which was directed by Markus Hofko, below.
