The Less You Know the Better

DJ Shadow’s latest album, “The Less You Know the Better” is growing on my ear drums like they are little agar dishes. It twist turns, shakes and breaks. I don’t think his Endtroducing will ever be topped, or matched for that matter, but this is an interesting journey through the breaks, percussion and beats that Shadow knows so well. The album’s strength lies in it’s consumption as a complete piece, pulling the listener down a variety of red pill/blue pill rabbit holes some explosive, others soothing, but almost always interesting.

The tracks range from this (which is fantastic on so many levels)

to this:

A proper trip through sound, enjoy!
