ALBUM PROFILE



UNKLE - "where did the night fall"


"UNKLE returns with an amazingly diverse album of songs that could be played in a dance club, a hip college radio station, and really just about anywhere. These songs don't fit into one specific genre, and that's fine by me. Of the 14 tracks on the album, 11 of them feature guest vocalists (most notably, to me at least, is Mark Lanegan (of Screaming Trees fame))." - Lazlo


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 11th. 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. To celebrate the release of "Where Did The Night Fall" UNKLE is exclusively streaming a new track,Natural Selection (featuring The Black Angels), at SPIN.com. The track will be made available for free download tomorrow at UNKLE.com.

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.
