Action Adventure is the follow-up to 2019's Our Pathetic Age. DJ Shadow: "There are 14 tracks, and all but one is instrumental. This, by definition, places it closer to Endtroducing and The Private Press in terms of personality and feel, but this is no throwback. The songs represent my continued evolution as a producer and songwriter, and I can honestly say that I couldn't have made these tracks even a few years ago. Objectively, I hear maturity and growth. The arrangements are sophisticated but efficient, the programming more deliberate. As the title would imply, there's a wide variety of moods and a premium on melody and texture, with the intention of maximum emotional impact." "Why no big-name collabs? I guess after my last two albums, which had a TON of guests, I needed to get personal and make music for myself again. I didn't want to compromise or write music to give someone else a runway, I wanted to force myself to permeate every available sonic space and "own" the total composition. Time after time, I found myself writing songs that felt vocal-resistant somehow, so rather than fighting something organic, I embraced the challenge…and "Action Adventure" is the result. I can't wait for you to hear it!"
