Minneapolis mutant punks Uranium Club have announced a new album, Infants Under The Bulb, which will be out March 1 via Static Shock. It’s the band’s first album in five years and they made it with longtime collaborator Grant Richardson.
As usual, the artwork is as detailed, and weird/awesome, as the music. From Static Shock: “The spectacular cover shot captures a carefully coordinated event orchestrated by the Club to photograph a crowd of the local volunteers wearing ponchos standing together in an open field to make the shape of a giant spiral. The spiral pictured is 120 feet (36.5 meters) wide, photographed by drone, and was plotted out on the ground using a protractor specially fabricated for the occasion by the band with a pivoting centre and 60ft long adjustable arm.” Check out the cover art below.
You can listen to the album’s opening cut, “Small Grey Man,” which is not as hyperactive as many Uranium Club songs, but it’s just as high-strung. Listen to that below.
Uranium Club will be touring Australia in March and all dates are in the tour poster below.
