Just a little over a month after the release of New Strategies for Modern Crime Vol. 1, his first new release in three years, Prefuse 73 has announced its follow-up. New Strategies for Modern Crime Vol. 2 is out June 28 via Lex Records. It’s a companion album to the first installment, and today Guillermo Scott Herren has released the first single, “Lion Chorus.” Hear it below.

Herren said in a statement, “I’ve lived in NYC since the 90s but I think during the post-COVID era, most ‘media’ has become obsessed with crime statistics and inflated ‘fear’ over basic human needs. I wanted to channel this surreal landscape – where crime has become a strange form of entertainment and journalistic distraction into sound.”

Prefuse 73’s One Word Extinguisher is featured on our list of 30 Essential Warp Records Albums.
