about

'Phase IV' follows A&U well received 'The Gateless Gate' album last year, but unlike that album 'Phase IV' moves into the shorter song territory and the bands line up is bolstered by Japanese legend TABATA MITSURU (Zeni Geva, Leningrad Blues Machine, Boredoms, Modoki, 20 Guilders, Green Flames, Acid Mothers Temple)

The album is co-released by Riot Season (UK/Europe) and Echodelick Records (US/North America) and it comes in a beautifully weird outer sleeve and pressed on jasmine yellow coloured vinyl. 300 copies for the world.

From their own dark and unwholesome corner of the UK’s psychedelic netherworld Artifacts & Uranium have created another monster.

They’ve now moved up to Phase IV.

This outing sees multi-instrumentalist and sonic explorer Fred Laird (Empty House, Earthling Society) reunite with subsonic maestro Mike Vest (Bong, Drunk In Hell, Mienakunaru, Modoki, Tomoyuki Trio).

And, back from the subs' bench, their ’Pancosmology’ drummer Nick Raybould returns to the fold. Also, as a bonus, they have pulled in their cosmic counterpart from Japan, Mitsuru Tabata.

This four piece incarnation of Artifacts & Uranium make ’Phase IV’ a potent cocktail of beautifully brutal garage rock and dense swamp punk.

Cacophonous guitars and radio interference meld with a possessed propulsive rhythm section as baying synths howl at a voodoo moon.

It’s a malevolent beast. Every home should have one.

extraordinary... mesmerising. I mean, just wow. Power through repetition. Almost tribal. You can tell these are real band performances. No doubt there are some overdubs, but minimal I would guess. I hope they record another album like this... and soon. DrOz
