Dutch Uncles

manchester-based dutch uncles are sub-20 year olds, pulling funny faces, wearing checked shirts, and playing tighter than their drainpipe jeans. the first single 'face in' was produced by gareth parton (the go! team, foals, pete and the pirates), and the rest of this debut album was recorded in a stormy ten day session in hamburg, germany. call it progpop, mathrock, indie, jingle-jangle. they have the well drilled groove of the strokes, the chiming african inflected guitars of a vampire weekend, the otherness of a shudder to think but then there's the repetition of a steve reich and the singular singing of duncan paton. these ten songs are just the start, dutch uncles are only opening their wings. on tapete records.
