Bright Monday mornings don’t exactly evoke the spooky and macabre, but that changes in an instant whenever cult rock outfit Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats put out new music. And this morning, they released a new single titled “Don’t Let It Control You.”
Teased as a “blood-soaked taster from their forthcoming studio album,” this new release is just under four minutes of fuzz-laden psycho rock. It’s got all the trappings of an Uncle Acid tune, including the almost lo-fi production and a dab of ’70s grit thrown into the mix. It’s the kind of song that can easily embed itself into your head like an icepick in Leon Trotsky’s skull.
Though the band mentioned a new album, there are no new details about that bad boy included with this track’s release. Just the fact that it’s coming soon.
“Don’t Let It Control You” will be released as a single on 7″ vinyl — the first time the band’s doing that since they put out Pusher Man back in 2016. If you’d like to make sure you get your hands on one of those, preorders are now open.
In addition to the new single, Uncle Acid is heading out on tour this summer. You can find the full list of tour dates below and get your tickets today.
