DJ Shadow revient ! Et comme d’habitude, il ne fait pas semblant en s’entourant d’une patate d’invités (Run the Jewels, Nas, Dave East, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah ou encore Paul Banks d’Interpol !) L’album « Our Pathetic Age » sort le 15 Novembre et comprendra 23 titres dont une première moitié d’instrumentales comme le titre « Rosie » juste au-dessus (et qui suit le premier single « Rocket Fuel » juste en dessous).
“More than anything, I try to get a sense of the mood of society as a whole. The subtle signals that humans send each other, the way people behave, their frustrations and ebbs and flows. In my part of the world, people are scared. There’s rampant homelessness, and a real fear of falling into generational poverty. People are addicted to, and addled by distraction; they’re angry and confused, and disaffected by their own governmental institutions. There’s songs that are inspired by this energy and seek to harness it, to make sense of it. In some cases, there’s attempts to salve the wound; in others, the songs merely observe but don’t offer solutions. Despite the title, it’s a hopeful, vibrant album…there is always light in darkness. I want it to reflect the times we live in, a signpost in the ground to mark the era…Our Pathetic Age.
