Critically acclaimed London-based Unkle announces the release of their fourth-proper full-length record “Where Did The Night Fall” on their label Surrender All on May 10th.
The album will feature fourteen tracks recorded over the last year at various locations around the world including the band’s Surrender Sounds studio in London, Ibiza, Melbourne and Los Angeles.
The album has influences from psychedelic rock to afrobeat and employs live drums, strings and percussion from The Heritage Orchestra. All this, coupled with Unkle’s trademark electronica is expertly woven and layered to build rich sound-scapes. “Where Did The Night Fall” takes the listener on another exciting musical journey.
Once again we see Unkle joined by a host of guest vocalists including gravelly voiced legend Mark Lanegan, formerly of Queens of the Stone Age and Screaming Trees; San Francisco psych scene darlings Sleepy Sun; Texan based drone rockers The Black Angels; and Katrina Ford of cabaret punk trio Celebration and long time TV On The Radio collaborator.
Also returning to the fold are tracks with Joel Cadbury, former South frontman; Gavin Clark, former Clayhill frontman; ELLE J of dark folk-rock group Dark Horses; and, Los Angeles based art noise-pop trio Autolux.
Unkle Live toured the world in 2007 and 2008 and will return to the stage in 2010 starting with select shows. Live show details, ticket information and more tour dates coming soon.
