Dutch Uncles

2023 reissue. Manchester-based Dutch Uncles 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... John Kennedy XFM said "Trying to pin down the sound of Dutch Uncles is tricky…somehow they are new wave, no wave, post-punk and pop all at once. They have the well-drilled groove of a 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."
