Summer’s gone, and Calvin Harris announced that he will release his fourth album Motion when the leaves are already brown: November 4.

The follow-up to the electronic music producer/singer-songwriter’s 18 Months drops two years (or 24 months) later. He teased to the news on Wednesday:

Harris’ schedule has been hectic the past couple of weeks with touring, hanging out with models in his music video for his song “Blame” featuring John Newman and joining the roster for an epic music festival in the Bermuda Triangle on Halloween weekend.

Crossing my fingers that he doesn’t mysteriously disappear while dropping bass lines in the tropical locale. It would be shame if he missed out on his album release.
