Producer and funk-guardian Dam-Funk has shared the details of his upcoming album Invite the Light. The new record, out September 4 on Stones Throw, will be his first solo album since 2009’s Toeachizown. The groove-heavy first single “We Continue” bounces along to bubbling acid bass, enveloping synths, and a searing guitar solo.
According to a press release, Invite the Light is a “loosely autobiographical concept album inspired by the trials and tribulations of his personal and professional life of the last six years.” Guest collaborators include Q-Tip, Ariel Pink, and Snoop Dogg.
Dam-Funk will perform a string of live dates in September after the album’s release. Check out the full list below, along with the track list and album art.
