dutch uncles have today announced details of big balloon, a new studio album anticipated 17th february 2017 on memphis industries. the album is heralded by an eponymous single which was premiered this morning as the just added track on lauren laverne's bbc radio 6 music show.
"as soon as recording began, it felt like the perfect response to the feelings of abandonment we'd been harbouring recently," says vocalist and lyricist duncan wallis.
"at times, it felt as though our ideas were quickly going out of fashion - the "psychedelic" tag seemingly now attached to pretty much any new artist with a chorus pedal - but "big balloon" feels like the perfect distillation of everything we set out to achieve on the new record."
"the song "big balloon" helped steer the direction of the songs written afterwards which became the album big balloon," adds composer robin richards. "it reminded us of the potency of the electric guitar, and brought them back as focal instruments on the record."
taking musical inspiration from kate bush's the red shoes, low-era david bowie, some other slightly-less fashionable records belonging to their dads and eastern european techno discovered by richards while working in ukraine this year, the subjects tackled on big balloon include austerity cuts, therapy, fried chicken, paranoia and coming to terms with loneliness. it's the fifth dutch uncles studio album and the follow-up to 2015's acclaimed o shudder.
Here it is, Big Balloon, being released 17 February 2017.
