Shabazz Palaces Announce Second New Album, Share Video for New Song “30 Clip Extension”: Watch

Last month, Shabazz Palaces announced a new album called Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star, due out July 14 via Sub Pop. Now, they’ve announced another album to be released that same day. This one is called Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines and, like its “extra-spatial twin” record, it tells the story of Quazarz, a “sentient being from somewhere else.” According to a press release, Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines “finds our protagonist with his dazzling cohorts rising a collective Nah to the device and the guilds that proliferate them.” Below, watch the music video (directed by Cristina T. Bercovitz and clipping.’s Jonathan Snipes) for a new song from the record, “30 Clip Extension.” Scroll down for the Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines tracklist (which includes a song called “Love in the time of Kanye”) and artwork.

Quazars vs. The Jealous Machines is also available as a limited-edition illustrated album, drawn by cartoonist Joshua Ray Stephens. The 32-page book is out August 18, in collaboration with Fantagraphics Books. Check out the cover art below, along with the artwork for “30 Clip Extension.”

Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star features the Strokes’ Julian Casblanacas, Thundercat, Gamble and Huff, and more. Previously, Shabazz Palaces shared that LP’s “Shine a Light.”
