Skrillex simply dropped his first album in 9 years, Quest For Fire, yesterday. The identical day, he, Four Tet, and Fred once more.. performed an unannounced pop up from a college bus in the course of Times Square in New York the day earlier than their present at Madison Square Garden, which they introduced three days forward of time and offered out inside three minutes. Just now, whereas the trio are actually on stage at some of the iconic venues on the earth, he shocked us all with the discharge of his second album, Don’t Get Too Close.
I feel I converse for all of us after I say, “Are you f*cking for real right now?”
But relaxation assured, that is actual life. With an virtually decade-long album drought, inside 48 hours, Skrillex has dropped two model new albums. Yes, some previous singles sneak their approach in however let’s be trustworthy, none of us are complaining.
Compared to Quest For Fire, Don’t Get Too Close is much extra targeted on pop and hip hop, with collaborators together with PinkPantheress, Trippie Redd, Yung Lean, Bladee, Kid Cudi, Chief Keef, Swae Lee, Bibi Bourelly, Justin Bieber, and Don Toliver. And then there’s Anthony Green, the frontman for Circa Survive and Saosin? We don’t query Skrillex, we’re actually simply letting this all occur and we’re okay with it.
