Dutch Uncles announce new album "True Entertainment" - out 10 March 2023

Dutch Uncles, Manchester’s much-revered electro art rock quartet, announce details of their long-awaited sixth album, True Entertainment, due for release on the 10th of March 2023 on Memphis Industries.

The title was a DJ name bestowed upon vocalist Duncan Wallis by guitarist Peter Broadhead. Wallis, an in-demand DJ and compare in his native city, wrote the acid house and Sign O’ The Times-era Prince-influenced title track and lead single when reflecting on the awkwardness he sometimes feels when he’s recognised as the singer in a band while working one of his many public-facing jobs.

To inaugurate the announce of the album, Dutch Uncles have released a video for lead single “True Entertainment”, shot at Droylsden Working Mens Club, watch below:

Interestingly, the video features a live vocal taped on set and mixed with the studio recording, intended as an homage to the art of live entertainment.

“I was determined to fashion a goatee beard for the shoot, to separate myself from the character – it is a character. But I was mortified to see myself in the gold suit, immediately understanding Elvis’ pain.” – Dutch Uncles lead vocalist Duncan Wallis on “True Entertainment”

True Entertainment will be available on CD, Black Vinyl and “millstone” yellow vinyl, pre-order now by clicking the images below:

Rozi Plain announces new album "PRIZE" - new single "Prove Your Good" out now

Rozi Plain announces her new album “PRIZE”, due for release 13 January 2023 on Memphis Industries. Following on from Kate Stables (This is the Kit) and Alabaster DePlume featuring single “Agreeing for Two” is “Prove Your Good”.

Check out the new single below:

Also available for listening on the following streaming services:

Rozi says of Prove Your Good: “Prove Your Good is thinking about the often silent fight within us. Trying to come good, trying to not be bad. Feeling judged and judging ourselves. The small re-writing we can do of bits of our own history. The painful shift of changing favourites. Rearranging the leader board. Knowing things must be simpler but going after the tricky stuff anyway”. 

PRIZE will be available on LP, CD and limited edition Dinked version (hand numbered and on translucent street lamp orange vinyl with a Rozi designed 2023 wall planner).

“Prize” is available to pre-order now via the links below:
