“Day 1 of [The Roots] 13th album: #[Undun],” tweeted the funky drummer on Tuesday. He included first-person look at his drum kit.
Seven hours later, Questo offered another tweet, this one including a 24-second video that previewed a track presumably from the forthcoming album.
Today, OkayPlayer — the Internet base for the crew — cooberated the announcement, revealing that the album is due out sometime in 2011. They also revealed that the group will continue to work with Def Jam, the imprint for the album.
Undun will mark the latest from the crew since their 2010 record, How I Got Over, which received some mixed reception from fans but generally positive reviews from critics. Although this will be their 13th release in total, it is considered the group’s 10th full-length studio album (not including EPs, collaborations and soundtracks).
