The Mountain Will Fall is a full length album by DJ Shadow, widely acknowledged as a crucial figure in the development of experimental, instrumental hip-hop.
The 12-track album finds DJ Shadow exploring new realms in addition to the deep samples and kinetic soundscapes that helped to launch his career 25 years ago. On The Mountain Will Fall, he’s shifted further toward original composition, a vast experimentation of beats and textures, synthesizers and live instruments including horns and woodwinds. The album features Run The Jewels, Nils Frahm, Matthew Halsall, Ernie Fresh and more.
The album artwork was designed by UK street artist Paul Insect, who also designed the art for Shadow’s 2006 album OUTSIDER.
