The Road: Part I is the fifth regular studio album from British electronic music act Unkle, due to be released on 18 August 2017.[4]

Background

The Road: Part I is the first UNKLE record in seven years. The album was inspired by James Lavelle's time spent curating the Meltdown Festival at London's Southbank Centre in 2014.[5] Talking about the process of creating the new album, Lavelle said[6]:

“ I hadn’t made a record in a long time, and the incarnation of UNKLE had changed in that now, it was me on my own. For that reason, I wanted to make a record that I hadn’t been able to before, going back to the roots of where I came from, with a foot in modern London. ”

Artwork

The artwork for the album was created by German painter Jonas Burgert. The album is accompanied by a 36 page booklet that features artworks by Nathan Coley, John Isaacs, David Nicholson, Norbert Schoerner, Doug Foster, and previous collaborators Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones.[7]
