DJ Shadow confirms new album will be released in 2023

DJ Shadow has confirmed that he will release a new studio album this year. 

The influential Californian DJ and producer shared the news on 26th January via Twitter.

The release, which will his seventh full-length to date, is set to be the first DJ Shadow album to be released since 2019's 'Our Pathetic Age', and will arrive 27 years after his landmark debut album 'Endtroducing.....'

On a blog post on his official website, he went into more detail regarding the new album, summarising the latest developments:

"What will it sound like? Well, that’s still to be defined. Here’s what I DO know. Unlike my last album ('Our Pathetic Age'), it will not be a double album, it will be of relatively conventional length. As of now, there are fewer guest vocalists than my other contemporary output. This is by design.

"The music reflects my recent experiences and evolving thought processes, both positive and negative," he added. "It is genre ambiguous. There is a unifying premise, which may or may not be obvious to the listener, depending on the extent to which I choose to amplify it."

Back in 2021, DJ Shadow released a 25th-anniversary edition of 'Endtroducing.....'
