DJ Shadow is releasing a new 23-track album this year

DJ Shadow is set to release his first album in three years, 'Our Pathetic Age', in November.

The London-based hip-hop producer and DJ collaborates with a host of rappers on the latter half of the 23-track LP, with the first 11 tracks formed of instrumentals.

Features include the likes of Nas, Run The Jewels, Ghostface Killah, Wiki, De La Soul and Raekwon.

On the album, which brings ‘rampant homelessness’ and ‘a real fear of falling into generational poverty’ to the fore, Shadow - real name Josh Davis - said: “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.”
