UNKLE End Titles … Stories for Film

Mo’ Wax/Surrender All impresario James Lavelle took his alter ego mass market with 1998’s Psyence Fiction, a high-profile, laboriously assembled collaboration said to have nearly hobbled co-producer DJ Shadow. Since that unswerving album, UNKLE has settled more and more into committing celluloid to sonics, crafting mildly lysergic, slow tracking shots of interlaced rawk ‘n’ rolls. With this latest Shoreditch spaghetti western inspired by and for an Abel Ferrara film, UNKLE has traded furrowed exasperations for much more arcing aspirations. String-laced incidental music slowly sweeps in next to gently frayed tracks with a more blunted stomp, featuring Pablo Clements, Josh Homme, Black Mountain, Gavin Clark, and more.
