So, first things first: Skrillex album undoubtedly confirmed.
The man tweeted out at 2am PST, “Still finishing this main body of work but in the mean time I just made this today and wanted to put it out.” While he works on finishing up the album, he just dropped a chill garage track called “Kliptown Empyrean.”
Filled with soft and delicate synths and melodies, it still features a lot of hallmark Skrillex effects in its drum patterns, vocal modulations, and more. It bears a lot of resemblance to the vibe we got on “Would You Ever?” with Poo Bear all those years ago.
Even though this is technically a placeholder, it’s also the first solo Skrillex release we’ve gotten since last year’s Show Tracks.
