wow, great track. wish we could see Unkle songs performed live regularly.

nice to hear the project going a bit more trip-hop / electronic. I loved the first two albums, and War Stories had some great stuff, but the more 'rock' tracks started to get a bit tired, and the last album was just a bit... boring..

Great to have one of my favorite bands back. For an 8 minute track, "Cowboys or Indians" flies by. Hoping we get a formal album announcement soon!

Nooooooo, I love Where Did The Night Fall!
"Joy Factory" still rocks my world, "The Runaway" is one of the best songs they've ever done, and everything Gavin Clark* (RIP) touched turned to gold. I highly recommend checking out some of the deep cuts and bonus tracks from that era if you haven't already – "In My Mind", "The Dog is Black", "Country Tune" etc are all killer.

*Has anyone here listened to the Toydrum (Pablo Clements and James Griffith) EP? "Void and Form" and "I've Got a Future" (feat. Gavin Clark) are as good as any of UNKLE's best. Toydrum and Gavin even recorded an entire concept album called Evangelist which is awesome, and I really need to listen to it more. I miss Gavin so much – he's one of my all time favorite singers, and he was unfortunately under-heard/under-known in his lifetime.

Thread bump, because holy shit does UNKLE deserve it.

UNKLE will return to America for the first time in thirteen years, and to Mexico for the first time since 2019, presenting their new live experience: Rōnin. They are excited to perform a bespoke live selection of recent recordings, remixes, reinterpretations, and classics.

James is excited to return after all these years, so friends across the pond don’t miss this one!

Already grabbed tickets to both CA shows. Never been to California, but this is as good a reason to go as any. For all I know, it’ll be another 13 years before he brings UNKLE to the US again. I drove to Washington DC for Massive Attack a few years ago and it was worth every penny.

It’ll be a whole-ass trip, too, as I’m going up to see Jungle play in OR and WA on the 14th and 15th. See two Jungle shows, visit a lifelong internet friend, see two UNKLE shows, come back to Kansas. PLUS a payday right in the middle, and I have a week of unused PTO I’ve been saving for a special occasion. Perfect timing.
