Skrillex, purveyor of the fine musicalart of dubstep, is promoting his first and very unexpectedfull-length album, Recess, in a novel way.

Regardless, playing through the game and bustinghigh-scores unlocks 11 new music tracks for streaming, and an optionto pre-order a download of the album is presented in the end.
Skrillex’s full-length debut, outMarch 18 on OWSLA, features collaborations with Chance The Rapper,Diplo, Niki & The Dove, Michael Angelakos, and K-Pop starsG-Dragon and CL. Meanwhile, the free Alien ride app is available fromthe links below:
