A Tribe Called Red will be releasing a new album this year, the group's first since the chart-topping Nation II Nation.

Ian Campeau, also known as DJ NDN, told The Ottawa Citizen that the group worked on the album in between tours. He is promising a number of collaborations with top musicians.

“It’s matured in a way,” Campeau told the paper of the group's sound. “It’s not all necessarily club bangers. It will be more headphoney. I’m really excited to share it.”

The group had a big 2015, touring around the world in support of Nation II Nation. The group also parted ways with DJ Shub, one of the founding members.
