R.I.P. UNKLE

Looks like War Stories was the last round for Lavelle and File: "After 10 years as musical collaborators in UNKLE, James Lavelle and Richard File are going their separate ways -- a decision that is mutual and amicable. Rich will be concentrating on his new band We Fell To Earth, who are currently in the studio working on their debut album." (via)

Stereogum Does CMJ: UNKLE @ Webster Hall, NYC 10/18/07

Everyone walking in to Webster to see James Lavelle and UNKLE had to be a little curious about the "very special guest vocalists." This is, after all, a band that's pulled in LP cameos from Thom Yorke, Richard Ashcroft,...  CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM DOES CMJ: UNKLE @ WEBSTER HALL, NYC 10/18/07»

New UNKLE Video - "Hold My Hand"

The second video from UNKLE's third album War Stories spins a claustro, soft-focused tale of creepy, stairwell-to-sidewalk dragging obsession. James Lavelle vocalizes about need and hand holding, being led/leading over a creepy trash-groove until the guitars stretch their legs and...  CONTINUE READING NEW UNKLE VIDEO - "HOLD MY HAND"»

New UNKLE (Feat. Ian Astbury) Video - "Burn My Shadow"

For a second you'll think that pulling hunky Croatian thespian Goran Visnjic is just another stab at the hit-or-miss celeb stunt casting that's running rampant -- until he opens his shirt (hey ladies!) to find a digital surprise.

Band To Watch: Blank Dogs

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Quit Your Day Job: Megafaun

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Premature Evaluation: of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...

Take our ink-stained hands and join us at the OldStand, where Jon McMillan goes to remind everyone what an honest-to-goodness music magazine is supposed to look like. Lots of Huey Lewis (and the News) news lately, so let's go back...

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual...
