Feist: “(Writing) gave me somewhere to go with my mind when I couldn’t go anywhere with my body”
With Feist set to release her latest album Multitudes, Uncut sits down for a Q&A session with the Canadian singer-songwriter. Read the full feature in the MAY 2023 issue of Uncut. Your daughter’s birth and your father’s passing clearly had a profound effect on your life in countless respects. What was it like coming back to making music? Songwriting felt simultaneously superfluous but also necessary. The times were so tight, with a new infant in my arms and lockdown all around us. The idea that music would be shared or a communal experience again felt very faint, so writing...
Lankum False Lankum
Among these little islands to the north-west of the European mainland, the sea has always claimed a large slice of national mythologies. For hundreds of years England has brandished its thalassic geography as a treatise of power: the scepter’d isle that never never shall be enslaved. But as England now cheerfully hoists itself by its own petard, disrespecting its own maritime coastline by defiling it with its own internal bowel movements, the sea arguably looms even larger in Ireland’s national story. From the arrival of St Patrick over the waves to Cromwell’s invasion across the waters; the waves of...
Depeche Mode Memento Mori
Maybe Depeche Mode were always destined to assume their final form as a synth duo. Way back in their early days, after they formed at a Basildon school concert in June 1980, they felt a little like a rock band who hadn’t quite completed their electronic evolution, and had been left with vestigial members, guys who might have once been bass players or drummers, and now were simply required to prod monosynths while looking moody on Top Of The Pops. Vince Clarke certainly seemed to think so, jumping ship as soon as possible to form Yazoo and Erasure. But...

Send us your questions for Adam Granduciel!
15 years ago, we got our first glimpse of The War On Drugs at a Club Uncut night at The Borderline (RIP). Despite being late additions to the bill after the cancellation of a tour had left them stranded in London, they blew us away with a “frantic 30 minutes or so, packed from floor to ceiling with moments of startling rapture and abandoned mayhem.” And now look at them: arena-fillers at home and abroad, their upcoming European tour takes in such grand locations as Halifax’s Piece Hall, Dublin’s Trinity College and The Eden Project. You can view the...

House Of All: “We’re honouring what Mark taught us”
Meet House Of All, a new band comprised entirely of ex-Fall members in our MAY 2023 issue of Uncut, available to buy here. Last year, after The Fall’s co-founding guitarist Martin Bramah moved back to Manchester, he had an idea to form a band of former Fall musicians. He rang Marc Riley, the 6 Music DJ and early Fall member, but Riley told him he didn’t play music any more. Another ex-Fall guitarist, Craig Scanlon, said the same. Classic-era bassist Steve Hanley and his drumming brother Paul were interested, but Bramah was all set to shelve the idea when...
Eventually Epic Offers A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The “Grey” Music Video
Debarun Bhattacharjya, also known as Roon, and Sachin Premasuthan, who form the band Eventually Epic, talk about their recent single “Grey.” While the song is emotionally fulfilling, with visually captivating elements that evoke a diverse range of emotions, the accompanying music video captures the essence of a nostalgic exploration of a past relationship against the backdrop of the abandoned streets of New York City. The musicians reveal that “Grey” had its origins back in Roon’s high-school days when he began teaching himself the guitar using basic chords. The song’s inspiration stemmed from the very first line of a poem...Recent Posts
