Last month, DJ Shadow unveiled the video for his recent single “The Mountain Will Fall.” Today, he’s back with a brand new record, “Bergschrund.” DJ Shadow’s latest is a collaboration with multi-talented composer and producer Nils Frahm, and is the third in a series of singles released in support of DJ Shadow’s forthcoming studio album The Mountain Will Fall. Speaking on today’s drop, DJ Shadow shared the following words with FADER:
“Nils Frahm is an insanely smart composer…He created a sinewy, gated vintage synth line which I then expanded upon, hopefully to complimentary effect. Our track is called ‘Bergschrund,’ an obscure German word for a particular type of crevasse, or ice cliff, usually found on mountains at very high elevations.”
Along with his new track and album, DJ Shadow is also hitting the for an expansive world tour in support of his new endeavors. You can stream his new single “Bergschrund” and run through his forthcoming tour below. The Mountain Will Fall is set to arrive on June 24.
