Deadmau5 let slip the news that he’s been working on a full length artist album which will veer off from his previous releases and offer “12 things you’ve never heard from me before and that [are] not some re-worked thing from two years ago” – a proper body of work.
Now we have some more information on what shape the artist album will take, with word coming straight from the ‘mau5’s mouth in a recent interview with Rolling Stone where Deadmau5 admitted he’s looking to move away from club oriented material.
“It’s going to be an album, start to finish,” the producer quipped before continuing on to explain that the LP will contain “actual song-songs” and that he wants to “get away from that fucking club shit”.
While Deadmau5 protestations are nothing new, the interview sees Deadmau5 sticking to his curmudgeonly guns and teasing that he might even sing on the album tracks, bringing back memories of the last time we heard Deadmau5 sing over a rough guitar tune (Sleeping Beauty Pills).
“My manager hates this,” Deadmau5 says of one tune prepared for the album. “It never kicks in, you know? And I play it live and the people hate it ‘cause it never drops.”
Rejecting the mainstream is one thing, producing stuff that everyone hates is another!
