Major Lazer -- the trio of Diplo, Walshy Fire and Jillionaire -- has finally unveiled the complete details for their first of two albums slated for release in 2015. The trio's third studio album, Peace Is the Mission, will be released June 1 and the nine-track album comes with features from the likes of Ellie Goulding, Elliphant, Ariana Grande, 2 Chainz, Pusha T and others. With the album announcement, Major Lazer have shared their new single "Roll the Bass," which you will receive as an instant download if you pre-order the album now.
If you sign up for the group's mailing list, you will receive a free download of "Roll the Bass" in your email, so it might be worth it just to save a little money.
The album artwork features the same Major Lazer man that has been the feature character in all the group's cartoons and was first featured when they promoted Free the Universe.
