Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats unveil Shapes Of Midnight ahead of UK headline dates
Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats have released their new album, Shapes Of Midnight, via Killer Candy Records.
The eight-track record finds Kevin Starrs and his band once again working in the murky overlap between heavy riffs, psych textures, vintage rock melodrama and uneasy melodic hooks. It follows 2024’s cinematic concept album Nell’ Ora Blu, with the new material pushing further into the group’s shadowy, kaleidoscopic sound world.
Opening with House by the Grave, the album moves through titles including When Evil Wakes, Psycho On The Loose and Sleep No More.
Inside the new record
Shapes Of Midnight arrives with Uncle Acid’s familiar taste for sinister imagery and slow-burning heaviness intact, while the record’s song titles suggest another nocturnal trip through the band’s horror-tinged universe.
