URANIUM CLUB - Infants under the Bulb LP
Originally named THE MINNEAPOLIS URANIUM CLUB!
Precisely timed ahead of the band’s debut tour of Australia commencing
March 19, Infants Under the Bulb will light up stores across the globe
from March 1st. Recorded in Minneapolis over the course of 2023 by long
time collaborator Grant Richardson and just as rampant and agitated as
ever, The Uranium Club once again win their dear listeners over with
eccentrically wild guitar parts, revolving voices, elastic-tight drums
and the addition of their very own Saints-styled horn section.
Lyrically, Infants Under the Bulb opens up the history books of unsolved
mysteries - unidentified, unsolved, unanswered subjects of suspicious
acts or individuals across the last century. Who, what, when and where…
but mostly, why? Ignorant humanity of earth orbits the sun once again.
The Somerton Man, Bergmann, Bauby, Denton, phone phreakers, and just
what is lurking behind the cosmic organ of The Wall?
As always, the artwork was handled in-house by the
Club and ambitious as ever. The spectacular cover shot captures a
carefully coordinated event orchestrated by the Club to photograph a
crowd of the local volunteers wearing ponchos standing together in an
open field to make the shape of a giant spiral. The spiral pictured is
120 feet (36.5 meters) wide, photographed by drone, and was plotted out
on the ground using a protractor specially fabricated for the occasion
by the band with a pivoting centre and 60ft long adjustable arm.
“Infants Under the Bulb” is out on Anti Fade and Static Shock, March
1st, 2024, followed by an 11 day Australian tour commencing March 19th.
