Post-hardcore trio Uniform have a new album called Shame coming out on September 11, and today they’ve delivered another glimpse of what’s to come with the short and sharp “Dispatches From The Gutter”.
The new track is two minutes of pure adrenaline, once again displaying Uniform’s usual abilities with hich-octane dynamism in a short space of time. “Dispatches From The Gutter” incorporates brilliant technique, tension and writing, making it seem twice as long just through its ingenuity.
Packaged with “Dispatches From The Gutter” is an intense video by Jacqueline Castel, who says: “The video was approached as a documented mass sigil informed by the historical and philosophical concept of self-immolation, performed under the lunar eclipse of Independence Day. Participants were asked to bring personal offerings to burn, and were given a directive to write down their intentions for the future, which were attached with accelerants to an effigy that was later cremated. It was a symbolic act of releasing what we wish to abandon, and an invocation of what we wish to rebuild.”
Uniform’s new album Shame is out September 11 on Sacred Bones. You can find the band on Bandcamp, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
