Deadmau5 is gearing for a tour… again. Joel Zimmerman (the guy behind the mask) has been on one non-stop mission across the world since breaking out with his award winnin’/nominatin’ debut, Random Album Title. So what gives? Arguably, the hardest working mau5 in the biz has found time to put together enough tunes between gigs to produce a new album.
Continuing the theme of the ambiguous album title, For Lack of a Better Name will be released on September 22nd. Along with the title track, “Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff” (which has already been played 2.5 million times on MySpace), the singles demonstrate Zimmerman’s ever-loving devotion to electronica as he begins to mash other styles of dance music with his signature sound.
Deadmau5 will hit the club circuit on August 2nd in Wasaga Beach, Ontario before officially beginning his pan-continental tour on September 23rd in Ottawa. The tour will crisscross For Lack of a Better Name between the U.S. and Canada, wrapping up on November 24th in Boston.
