UNCOMELY

Uncomely are primarily inspired by russian avant-garde art and the wave of psychedelic, punk rock and grunge bands that revolutionised music in the 1960s and 1990s. Having found a base in Yorkshire recording their Games People Play EP at Greenmount Studios (Cribs/Pulled Apart by Horses), the band have also collaborated with producers, artists, directors, and photographers all over Europe in their quest to create challenging and authentic work.

Their debut release, a self-produced and self-released mixtape in 2017, was a thrilling collision of fuzz guitars and manic vocals portraying hard-hitting subjects like addiction, mental health, and transpersonal psychology. 2018 has seen a continuation of this through their Games People Play EP. This featured the abrasive, grunge-funk-punk Fun Times, which arrived with a striking and cinematic video filmed in Berlin.

“Black Flowers” was the first new single since their Games People Play EP and was accompanied by a stunning and cinematic short-film.

Back with a bang, Leeds based Uncomely deployed their signature grunge sound once again on this hard-hitting track. “Black Flowers” is a fuzzy sonic rollercoaster. Cranking up slowly with the band’s trademark eerie guitars and ethereal vocals, the track plummets to Earth with foot-stomping riffs and catchy hooks. At times more akin to a symphony than a rock track, the band ebb and flow through distinct sections, climaxing with an emphatic, grungey, crescendo accelerando.

The band is continuing their recording journey with producers Jamie Lockhart and Lee Smith at Greenmount Studios (Pulled Apart By Horses/Crib/Post War Glamour Girls) and have a string of releases planned to follow up their hotly anticipated Step Aside single which dropped in August.
