Shigeto returns with Intermission EP, shares lead track 'Pulse'

Michigan artist breaks silence with new solo EP.

In the two years since his last album, No Better Time Than Now, Ann Arbor native Shigeto has toured extensively, joined a jazz quartet alongside veteran Dave Douglas and collaborated with local rappers, including Zlooper. All that’s been missing is more solo material.

Earlier this week, the multi-instrumentalist changed that with the lead track from a new EP entitled Intermission. The six-track release is due out on Ghostly International, his home since 2010, October 30 on vinyl and digital.

According to Shigeto the EP is a collection of songs that “point to the past, present, and future” and which should be considered more as a taste than a definitive statement, “like a halftime show of sorts.”

You can hear the bubbling title track ‘Pulse’ below as well as artwork and full tracklist. Pre-orders are available from The Ghostly Store.
