Following the latest trend of dropping an album without warning, Skrillex made his new album, "Recess," available for listening song-by-song on Monday night. On Friday, Skrillex released an app entitled "Alien Ride," which contained a folder of 11 hidden objects and a countdown to March 10 at 6:30 p.m. EST. It was through this app that the tracks to "Recess" made their way to the public ear, which can now be streamed on iTunes before going on sale March 18.

As well as releasing his new album, Skrillex announced "The Mothership Tour 2014," which will bring him cross-country through the spring and summer. Check out the tour poster and a video showing Skrillex and his team prepping for a long haul below, as well as the tracklist for "Recess" and the title track.
