Uniform released their most recent full-length, The Long Walk, back in 2018, and last year they put out another collaborative album with the Body. Today, they’re releasing a new track through the Adult Swim singles series, a punishing one called “Awakening.”

“Stylistically, it’s far more dance oriented than we’re typically accustomed to,” the band’s vocalist Michel Berdan said in a statement. He continued:

The song was originally commissioned by my friend Adam Fuchs for the Adult Swim Singles Program, whose departed brother Jerry was one of the finest disco drummers who ever lived as well as one of the most spectacular friends I will ever have. I like to think of this song as a tribute to Jerry. ‘Awakening’ is about the daily frustrations of a complacent existence in late capitalism. Some might take it as a protest song. However, it’s to be implied that waking up with a deep seeded anger is something that happens every day. We know they are mad, but we don’t know if anything will ever change.
