Dutch Uncles is a British indie pop band hailing from Marple, England. Known for their strong art rock and post rock influences, the band has gained a reputation for their unique sound and captivating performances.

The band consists of Pete Broadhead on guitar, Andy Proudfoot on drums, Robin Richards on bass guitar, and Duncan Wallis as the lead vocalist and pianist. Together, they create a dynamic blend of catchy melodies and intricate musical arrangements.

With former member Daniel "Sped" Spedding on guitar, Dutch Uncles have crafted a distinctive style that sets them apart from other artists in the genre. Drawing inspiration from bands like Field Music, Teleman, and Wild Beasts, Dutch Uncles have carved out their own niche in the music industry.

Memphis Industries is a British independent record label based in North London. Established in 1998 by the brothers Ollie Jacob and Matt Jacob, it has become a prominent player in the music industry. With their first release being Blue States' Forever EP, Memphis Industries quickly made a name for itself as a platform for talented artists.

Over the years, Memphis Industries has nurtured and supported numerous *artists* who have gone on to achieve great success. The label prides itself on its diverse roster, spanning various genres including indie rock, electronic, and folk. Their commitment to quality music has earned them an esteemed reputation among both fans and critics alike.

With an impressive catalog of releases under their belt, Memphis Industries continues to discover and promote emerging talent from around the world. Their passion for music shines through in every release they put out, making them a go-to destination for music lovers looking for something fresh and exciting.

Manchester’s idiosyncratic art-popologists Dutch Uncles return with Big Balloon, their new studio album on Memphis Industries. Big Balloon is the latest chapter in Dutch Uncles’ brilliantly witty, hip-swivelling leftfield adventures. Taking musical inspiration from Kate Bush’s The Red Shoes, Low - era David Bowie, some slightly-less fashionable records belonging to their parents and Eastern European techno, it’s the fifth Dutch Uncles studio album and the follow-up to 2015’s acclaimed O Shudder. Functioning as ten distinct pieces, each tackling a different topic, including austerity cuts, therapy, fried chicken, paranoia and coming to terms with loneliness, Big Balloon is Dutch Uncles’ finest album to date, taking listeners on an exhilarating cerebral journey.
