Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats are to return with their new album in six years. The new album, which is titled Nell’ Ora Blu, will be on May 10 through Rise Above Records. The album is heavily inspired by Italian Giallo film scene.
Band masterind Kevin Starrs shares his thoughts:
“I know something like this might have limited appeal, but who cares? Most of what we do has a limited appeal anyway! It’s just a real mix of different styles that I like. There are no singles or ‘hits’. Instead, it all just flows along one thing into the next. You can think of it like blood seeping from a wound. It’s continuous. By the end of it, you’re left exhausted. It’s hard work for the listener. We don’t do easy listening!”
He adds:
“It’s a tribute to 70s Italian cinema. It’s a story about people who decide to take the law into their own hands. Things get pretty dark straight away and of course, it doesn’t end well for anyone. It has elements of grimy poliziotteschi (Italian crime/action films) and classic Giallo (Italian cinema’s revered horror/sexploitation movement).
“Once I decided to do everything in Italian, I made a list of actors that I wanted. Franco Nero and Edwige Fenech were the first names I thought of. Two legends that had never been paired together before. I contacted their agents and both actors were interested in the idea, so we set it up from there.”
Preorder will be announced soon. A single from the album will be released in a few days as well.
