UNKLE - The Road: Part 1 [Deluxe] (CD)

Add to Cart

After a rollercoaster 25-year career as an artist, curator and tastemaker, James Lavelle returns with UNKLE'€™s fifth studio album: The Road.

"€œI hadn'€™t made a record in a long time, and the incarnation of UNKLE had changed in that now, it was me on my own,"€ he says. "For that reason, 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€."

After a productive trip to the States, Lavelle returned to London to add the finishing touches to what was shaping up to be another classic UNKLE record. Lavelle then managed to conclude a 20-year conversation with Primal Scream'€™s Andrew Innes, as the pair finally got together in the studio, with Innes playing lead guitar on the album'€™s title track. Another first for Lavelle was a collaboration with Planet Funk'€™s Gigi Canu and Marko Baroni, who along with Duke Spirit starlet Liela Moss, contributed to Sunrise (Always Comes Around), UNKLE'€™s reinterpretation of the summer anthem.

This deluxe edition CD includes a bonus disc featuring exclusive instrumentals.
