Skrillex thanks fans after Grammy nomination, 'I'm in the studio finishing my albums'
Skrillex scored his thirteenth Grammy nomination this week for his collaborative work with Boys Noize and Ty Dolla $ign on “Midnight Hour.” The track has easily been one of the most heavily rotated dance cuts of the year, so Skrillex took to social media to thank fans for the deserved Best Dance Recording nomination. Though his choice of words had fans doing double-takes when he mentions wrapping up on his albums. Albums? As in multiple full-length projects? It would seem so. It looks like the sophomore follow up to Recess is underway… and then some. But are both of these supposed albums being completed side by side? Are they both slated for 2020? One innocuous message to fans raises a lot of questions.
Now, that’s not to say that Skrillex wasn’t referring to a possible Dog Blood project and a solo venture, or a solo LP and production work on someone else’s record, so “albums” leaves considerable room for interpretation. It’s been no secret that the “Mumbai Power” producer is sitting on a massive trove of new material, but now it’s clear 2020 is undoubtedly going to be the year of Skrillex.
