It's been three years since a proper
Uncle Skeleton release and, personally, I think that's far too long. Granted, the man has been busy moving to NY, getting married and creating wonderful musical worlds over at
Dots but I still felt a deficit in my life not having creations under the Uncle Skeleton moniker. So, without further ado, I'm happy to announce
Cocoa Beach is now available.
The vinyl version is up for pre-order but you can stream the whole thing
here,
here and on your favorite streaming service sometime later today. Here's a handy sampler to whet your whistle.
I'm really happy with how the artwork turned out - clean, simple and with a mild 60's vibe. Just right for an Uncle Skeleton release if I do say so myself. It's a beautiful record filled with moments I could go on and on about - the drum fill of "
Cocoa Nibs", the whispering sweetness the ends
Sasask, the tropicalia vibe of
Pet Island III and the epic Spiritualized-esque greatness of
Handy Looky. That's just a few off the top of my head.
I think highly of all the releases on
yk records but Uncle Skeleton helped start the entire label, so I have a special affinity for everything he puts out into the world. This is a gem. Enjoy it.
