It's the place lyricist and vocalist Duncan Wallis has laid down his roots with the great people and places that make up this wee part of Manchester forming the inspiration of the album. Like their albums before their sound borders on experimental pop, art pop, sophistipop and never too far away from ripping into late era Talk Talk. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"150\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; background: transparent;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/no-note\/6820035453?i=6820035462\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter 18 years together, Dutch Uncles remain thrillingly\u003cbr\u003eimpossible to pigeonhole. Always more interested in following\u003cbr\u003ethe white rabbit than they are in playing by the rules, the\u003cbr\u003eStockport-formed sextet push their instinctive, exploratory\u003cbr\u003eapproach to new heights on latest LP Polygon Hotel and deliver\u003cbr\u003esome of the most richly rewarding music of their career.\u003cbr\u003eInspired by the people, places and chance encounters of\u003cbr\u003eLevenshulme, Manchester, where vocalist and lyricist Duncan\u003cbr\u003eWallis has finally laid down firm roots, Polygon Hotel takes its\u003cbr\u003ename from a disused local pub, reimagined as a home for the\u003cbr\u003erecords disparate characters and stories: a place where its\u003cbr\u003elaments, absurdities and breakthroughs could coexist. It’s a\u003cbr\u003efitting metaphor for an album that moves between the personal\u003cbr\u003eand the surreal, the darkly comic and the quietly profound.\u003cbr\u003eOn Polygon Hotel, the band leaps headlong into the unknown;\u003cbr\u003ereinvigorated, and rediscovering the strange, playful chemistry\u003cbr\u003ethat first united them. Self-produced and bringing together\u003cbr\u003eformal experimentation, atypical time signatures and\u003cbr\u003elabyrinthine melodies that burrow stealthily into your psyche,\u003cbr\u003ePolygon Hotel is the sound of Dutch Uncles at their most\u003cbr\u003eadventurous and unmistakably themselves.\u003cbr\u003eBeneath its playful sonic exterior Polygon Hotel is, at its heart,\u003cbr\u003ean album about control – what we inherit, what we lose, and\u003cbr\u003ewhat we can still change – though Wallis only recognised the\u003cbr\u003etheme after its completion. The first half circles the past and its\u003cbr\u003einescapable baggage, from lost time and death to old mistakes\u003cbr\u003eand the people we once were, before a gradual shift in\u003cbr\u003eperspective opens the door to something more hopeful.\u003cbr\u003eIt is their first album as a six-piece, with longtime touring multi-\u003cbr\u003einstrumentalist Henry Broadhead and guitarist Neil Wright\u003cbr\u003ejoining Duncan Wallis, bassist Robin Richards, guitarist Peter\u003cbr\u003eBroadhead and drummer Andrew Proudfoot as full-time\u003cbr\u003emembers of the band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dutch Uncles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54286325448998,"sku":"MI0852LP","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/DutchUncles_MI0852_4000x4000_sRGB.jpg?v=1793717193","url":"https:\/\/www.limitedadditionrecords.com\/products\/polygon-hotel-cringle-park-green-vinyl-lp","provider":"Limited Addition Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
