THE DUKE SPIRIT - "Ex Voto EP"

THE DUKE SPIRIT will release the new "Ex Voto EP" in October, which will include the four brand new tracks 'Lassoo', Dog Roses', 'MASCA', and 'A Wild Hope'. Three of the tracks were recording at Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree with Chris Goss, who also produced their 'Mayday' contribution to UNKLE's recent album "War Stories". The remaining 4th track was produced by Flood. The EP will be released in the UK on October 22nd. A new full length should follow in early 2008.

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.

JAMIE RADFORD - "The Freedom To Be Reckless"

The self-proclaimed experimental electronic rapper JAMIE RADFORD hails from Athens, Georgia, the music-laden land that produced bands like R.E.M., THE B-52'S and OF MONTREAL. But you'd never assume Georgia as the point of reference here. Instead, we have a chill rapper that sounds like he came out of the cracks in a sort of British Detroit in the future. Comparisons have been made, likening Radford's unique sound to that of THE ALBUM LEAF, PREFUSE 73 and even the groundbreaking sci-fi hip-hop 'Psyence Fiction' record from UNKLE. You'll have to draw your own conclusion by streaming Radford's second album "The Freedom To Be Reckless".

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.
