One of the United Kingdom's greatest exports, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, will be dropping The Night Creeper on September 4 via Rise Above Records and I could not be more excited. This band can do no wrong even if they actively tried to make bad music. The album was recorded at Toe Rag Studios in early 2015 with engineer Liam Watson (White Stripes, Tame Impala, Electric Wizard), which means this will be maximum evil! Also, there's a U.S. tour! More on that later though.
Cult leader Kevin Starrs had this to say about the upcoming murderous propaganda.
"The idea is that this album could have started life as an old cheap, grime-covered 25 cent pulp paperback like the type sold at news-stands outside train stations. But then perhaps it is adapted into a film noir, which itself is then re-made twenty years later as an ultraviolent, slasher Italian Giallo film. The album follows this aesthetic lineage as it descends from trash to noir to something discernibly darker…"
I need this in my life like, right now. Not that it's going to happen, but I hope Rise Above Records couples this album with a remaster of the band's incredibly rare first album Volume One… DO YOU HEAR ME, RISE ABOVE?!
