DJ Shadow confirms new tour, album details

DJ Shadow has confirmed details of his fourth studio album and upcoming tour.

The producer, born Joshua Paul Davis, releases The Less You Know, The Better and plays several live dates in support of the release.

The album follows 2006's The Outsider and recent EP Singles 'I Gotta Rokk' and I'm Excited'. Guests on the album include Tom Vek, Little Dragon and Talib Kweli.

A comedic hand-scrawled press release said: "With five years passing since his last album, any new DJ Shadow LP is noteworthy nausea-inducing; when it's as good as The Less You Know, The Better, it's cause for celebration retching."

Tickets for DJ Shadow's new November and December shows go on sale this Friday, September 9 at 9am and are priced at £19.50 and £21 for London.

DJ Shadow's full tour dates are as follows:

• September 7-9 - London, Village Underground
