Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - Wasteland

Monday, time to introduce "Record Of The Week".

"Wasteland" is the fifth full-length release for the British psychedelic rock band UNCLE ACID AND THE DEADBEATS (UA) led by Kevin Starrs, "Wasteland" was recorded at the iconic Sunset Sound studio, Los Angeles and was released on October 12th 2018 on Rise Above Records.

As we know the band by now, a wonderful and mysterious musical journey is expected in the dark-blown 60-70's cult film-inspired rock.

The same ingredients have been used to create "Wasteland" that the band is know for. The album opens up with "I See Through You" a rock driven and wilful catchy piece that rolls out the red carpet for "Wasteland", great tune indeed. It follows up with a ballsy heavy riff in "Shockwave City", a heavy rocker that could have been made in the 70's. "No Return" is a nine minute sluggish, creepy thing that follows the band's classic path that ooze psychedelic dizzy on an abandoned cemetery. Early IRON MAIDEN comes to mind when it's time for "Blood Runner" and "Stranger Tonight", two tunes that with high tempo and galloping twin guitas, lumbering riffs and great hooks stands out abit. The half pace title track "Wasteland" is a real epic, a lighter approch, acoustic guitars, softer vocals. The two last tunes on the album are horn and organ featuring tune "Bedouin" and the spaced out ending in "Exodus".

Sum: "Wasteland" is high-watermark album from your favourite freaked-out uncle.

Today's tune "Shockwave City", the second single taken from the monster album, "Wasteland", enjoy!
