Deadmau5 is set to release his fourth album in September.
For Lack of a Better Name is the follow-up to his huge commercial success Random Album Title , but fans should expect something a little different from Joel Zimmerman this time around. Not many details of the record have been released, but we can inform you that the album will comprise of "multi-blocks of songs," each of which will focus on a different style of music. The only music to surface from the album so far is his collaboration with Pendulum's Rob Swire, "Ghosts'n'Stuff," which you can check out below.
To support the record, Zimmerman will head out on a marathon 30+ date tour of North America, kicking off on September 23rd in Ottawa, and ending in late November at Boston's Roxy.
Ultra Records will release For Lack Of A Better Name on September 22nd, 2009.
