According to a press statement, “The Deep” is “a dark sci-fi tale about the underwater-dwelling descendants of African women thrown off slave ships and based on the mythology of Detroit electronic group Drexciya.” Originally commissioned for an episode of This American Life, the single went on to inspire a novella of the same name by author Rivers Solomon.

News of “The Deep” arrives just a few weeks after the release of clipping.’s full-length album, There Existed an Addition to Blood. It also comes as the outfit is scheduled to perform at the Adult Swim Festival in Los Angeles. Grab your tickets here.

As for Shabazz Palaces, their last proper record, Quazarz vs. The Jealous Machines, dropped in 2017, though they recently hit the studio with Flying Lotus.
