21 June 2017After a seven-year hiatus, James Lavelle is set to return with a new album from UNKLE. Entitled The Road: Part 1, the 15-track LP is due out August 18th through Pledge Music. It’s the project’s fifth album to date and long-awaited follow-up to 2010’s Where Did the Night Fall.
According to a press release, the album taps into the multicultural landscape of modern London and sets out to unite an eclectic mix of ideas, cultures, and genres under the UNKLE umbrella to create something unique. Lavelle explains, “I wanted to make a record that I hadn’t been able to before, going back to the roots of where I came from, with a foot in modern London.”
The lengthy list of contributors includes QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE’s Troy Van Leeuwen and Jon Theodore, PRIMAL SCREAM’s Andrew Innes, THE DUKE SPIRIT’s Liela Moss, Dhani Harrison, Keaton Henson, ESKA, and long-time UNKLE collaborator Mark Lanegan.
