UNKLE - 'Burn My Shadow'

As previously reported UNKLE are set to release its third album "War Stories" on July 24. Subtitled 'A Collection of Desert Songs', the new album marks a fairly huge departure for James LaVelle, the mastermind behind UNKLE, as a majority of the tracks are performed live with real instruments, differing from the previous two mostly electronic albums. It seems fairly obvious that LaVelle was inspired by the DESERT SESSIONS series, a collection of cd's each recorded in the California desert by QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE lead singer Josh Homme, who silimarly has a large role in "War Stories". Check out Homme and QOTSA producer Chris Goss recording the new album in this UNKLE - Video Podcast (behind the scenes).

The first single 'Burn My Shadow' featuring Ian Astbury of THE CULT is now available to stream below.

New UNKLE Album on the Way

Billboard reports that UNKLE (James Lavelle minus DJ Shadow) will release its 3rd album "War Stories" on July 24. The roster of guests on the set include, among others, THE CULT's Ian Astbury, AUTOLUX and (yes, yes, yes!) THE DUKE SPIRIT!!! I love The Duke Spirit. This alone gets me pumped for this album's release!

The first single will be "Burn My Shadow", which features Ian Astbury on vocals.

UNKLE's 1998 debut 'Psyence Fiction' is one of the greatest fusions of rock and trip-hop ever made.
