DJ Shadow announced a new album, Action Adventure, due out October 27 via Mass Appeal/Liquid Amber. It’s his seventh studio LP, the follow-up to 2019’s star-studded Our Pathetic Age, which featured De La Soul, Run the Jewels, Nas, Wiki, Interpol’s Paul Banks, Future Islands’ Samuel Herring, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and more. He’s taking a different tack on Action Adventure, however, which has no featured guests and is mostly instrumental. “This is about my relationship to music. My life as a collector and curator. All my records and tapes, and no one else’s,” he says, adding, “I didn’t want to write music that was formatted for vocalists. I wanted to write music that flexed different energies.” See the cover art and tracklist below.

The lead single is “Ozone Scraper,” which is accompanied by a video directed by Stefano Ottaviano. Watch it below.

DJ Shadow has a few shows coming up, including dates with Thievery Corporation and a festival set at Hammonton, NJ’s Submersion. See all dates below.
