Our Pathetic Age represents an intensely creative period for the pioneering musician, and his most ambitious work yet. The first album is all DJ Shadow, 11 original, instrumental tracks that include his deepest dive yet into original composition and his first fully orchestrated piece of music. The second half is a full album of vocal collaborations, ranging from Run The Jewels, Nas and Dave East to Samuel T. Herring, Paul Banks and Wiki, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah and Raekwon, and Brooklyn MC Stro. Shadow also reunited with his early Solesides collaborators Lateef The Truthseeker and Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), and partnered with fellow Bay Area musicians Fantastic Negrito and Jumbo is Dr.ama.
DJ Shadow has shared two other songs from Our Pathetic Age thus far: “Rocket Fuel” with De La Soul, and the “hard-hitting” (Rolling Stone) instrumental “Rosie.”
DJ Shadow’s The Mountain Will Fall (released in 2016 on Mass Appeal) was widely celebrated and led to a performance of “Nobody Speak” with Run The Jewels on the Tonight Show, his first #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic chart, and nearly 100 dates of international touring that included Coachella and Pitchfork Paris. “Nobody Speak,” deemed “brassy and bruising” by Rolling Stone, was featured in multiple films and commercials, and was the most played hip-hop song on alternative radio in 2018.
