Album Title Goes Here (stylized as > album title goes here <) is the sixth studio album by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5, released on September 21, 2012 by Mau5trap and Ultra Records in the United States and Canada and by Parlophone Records in the United Kingdom. The album is considered to be more experimental than deadmau5's previous albums (such as 4×4=12 ), and he stated in an interview with Fuse that he had been considering producing music similar to his debut album Get Scraped again. [1] It is the last studio album by deadmau5 to be released by Ultra Records, as well as his only album to be released by Parlophone.

Contents

Album Title Goes Here spawned five singles: "Maths", "The Veldt", "Professional Griefers", "Channel 42" and "Telemiscommunications". The album received a nomination for Best Dance/Electronica Album at the 55th Grammy Awards.

Background

In a livestream on Ustream, deadmau5 said that the track "Sleepless" was supposed to contain the vocals he had recorded, but he claimed to have accidentally submitted the wrong file without the vocals. This led to the instrumental version of the song to appear on the final version of the album. [2]

Promotion

A music video directed by Paul Boyd was released for "Professional Griefers", which featured both deadmau5 and Gerard Way, and was promoted by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). A fully animated music video for "The Veldt" made by Qudos Animations was released on 25 June 2012.
