The collection that kicks off with “Tambourine Dream,” will also spotlight the tracks “5 Dollar Pony Rides,” “Friendly Hallucinations,” “Mrs. Deborah Downer,” “Stoned,” “Manakins” and “Rick’s Piano.” The release will come on the fifth anniversary of 2020’s Circles, which was released two years after Miller’s death in September 2018 from a accidental drug overdose.
When Balloonerism was announced last year, Miller’s family issued a statement explaining why they are releasing the project. “Many of Malcolm’s fans are aware of Balloonerism, a full length album that Malcolm created around the time of the release of Faces in 2014,” they wrote. “It is a project that was of great importance to Malcolm — to the extent that he commissioned artwork for it and discussions concerning when it should be released were had regularly, though ultimately [2015’s] GO:OD AM and subsequent albums ended up taking precedence.”
They added, “We believe the project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and fearlessness as an artist. Given that unofficial versions of the album have been circulating online for years and that releasing Balloonerism was something that Malcolm frequently expressed being important to him, we felt it most appropriate to present an official version of the project to the world.”
Ballonerism will drop just two days before what would have been the MC’s 33rd birthday.
