- The legendary French DJ and producer will release his fifth album later this year.
Laurent Garnier is set to release his fifth artist album in May, entitled Tales Of A Kleptomaniac.
As to be expected from the genre-hopping Frenchman, the album takes in a multitude of styles; going from techno and house through to drum & bass and even dubstep. Philippe Naudaud and Benjamin Rippert will resume the instrumental duties that they took on his Public Outburst LP from 2007, and it's likely that they will also play as part of the live setup for Garnier's forthcoming tour.
A full tracklisting hasn't yet been made public, but we do know that last year's Innervisions hit "Back To My Roots" will feature, as well as "Gnanmankoudji," which is set to be released as a single on March 9th. Gilles Peterson also gave away details of album-opener "No Musik" on his Radio 1 show, calling it a "modern day funk anthem" that "evokes groups like Kleeer and Cameo using dubstep snares and electro sounds over a Sugarhill rapture."
[PIAS] Recordings will release Tales Of A Kleptomaniac on May 11th, 2009.
