Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats
Wasteland (Dark Green Vinyl)

From the album a mile carries the conceptuality and relevance passed through the prism of the sound of the 70s. The cover meets us with a chic abstract art, inspiring thoughts about anti-utopian books, more in common with our reality. As for the musical design - here we are met with a dashing mess from the characteristic British hard’n’heavy, accompanied by voluminous vocals that sound in a psychedelic rock-like manner — well, you know, high vocals, passed through effects and richly backed up. The album is very noisy: here you have the characteristic “wall of sound”, and the noises accompanying an authentic organ, and lengthy compositions and samples. It turns out a funny combination of Judas Priest-style guitars, and a noise attack like My Bloody Valentine. And so it goes on until the song Wasteland, which, unexpectedly, meets you with a brooding, even melancholic acoustic guitar, in the spirit of BRMC, but still, to the climax, it turns into a psychedelic noise vinaigrette. It was recorded on Sunset Sound and The Overlook, Elstree, by Geoff Neal and Zachary Zajdel sound engineers. Turned down at 3345 Mastering, Noel Summerville. The cover is made by artist Julian Montague.
