Mancunian art-pop rockers Dutch Uncles<\/a> talk the music scene up north and Greggs pasties.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Dutch<\/a><\/p>\n

Hype has been gathering around Dutch Uncles<\/a> for a while now, with comparisons to angular rock bands like Everything Everything. But unlike Everything Everything, Dutch Uncles are actually old hats at this rock malarkey – Out Of Touch In The Wild is their third album, and arguably their best, following up on the bewitching Wire-inspired guitar rock of Cadenza. They tell us how this time, it’s a “proper” studio album.<\/p>\n

Anti-genre labelling aside, how would you describe the band?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well\u2026 In my mind I would describe us a band of brothers. We’ve been doing our tunes in many shapes and sizes for many years. The music takes on forms depending on our current situations. I think the next album is going to be straight down the line rock and roll. Prog is dead. In all seriousness, we’ve picked up a lot of genres labels in our time but art-pop has stuck of late.<\/p>\n

Do personal tastes ever compromise the sound of certain tracks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our producer Brendan listens to a crap load of looney tunes. Which has somehow lead to him using a crapload of spring reverb. Phil (our mix engineer) tells him to turn it down. We all have to compromise. Ideally I would solo from start to finish. But this wouldn’t be economically viable.<\/p>\n
