There's no victim to rescue. There's no evil to thwart. There's no tyranny to turnover. Instead of saving the day against his better judgment, he just walks a Sisyphean circle of existential malaise doomed to repeat yesterday's vices without the promise of a better tomorrow. Rather than tell this story on the screen or on the page, Uniform tell it on their fourth full-length album, Shame. The trio - Michael Berdan (vocals), Ben Greenberg (guitar, production), and Mike Sharp (drums) - strain struggle through an industrialized mill of grating guitars, warped electronics, war-torn percussion, and demonically catchy vocalizations. \"Thematically, the album is like a classic hard-boiled paperback novel without a case,\" says Berdan. \"It focuses on the static state of an antihero as he mulls over his life in the interim between major events, just existing in the world. At the time we were making the record, I was reading books by Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, and Dashiell Hammet and strangely found myself identifying with the internal dialogues of characters like Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe.\" The lead-up to this moment proved just as intriguing as any of those characters' exploits. Born in 2013, Uniform bulldozed a path to the forefront of underground music. Following Perfect World (2015) and Wake in Fright (2017), the group's third offering, The Long Walk (2018), represented a critical high watermark. Pitchfork christened it \"their most unified-and most deranged-record to date,\" and The Line of Best Fit crowned them \"vanguards within the genre.\" In addition to touring with the likes of Deafheaven and Boris, they joined forces with The Body for a pair of collaborative albums - Mental Wounds Not Healing (2018) and Everything That Dies Someday Comes Back (2019) - as well as the live release, Live at the End of the World (2020). When it came time to pen Shame, Berdan made a conscious decision to include lyrics, marking a first. \"I wanted my words to carry a degree of weight on this record,\" he says. \"Books and cinema have always been integral to my life, and that is often because of how I relate to the themes and characters therein. I am naturally shy and terrified of being misunderstood. This time around, I endeavored to trudge through those fears in order to explicitly articulate what goes on in a dreary corner of my inner life. To put it plainly: I was in a dark place. It was the culmination of years of thinking everyone in the world was wrong, but me. I realized that I couldn't control the attitudes and behaviors of other people, but it was my responsibility to look inward and fix what was there. I had to articulate what was going on in my heart, my head, and my soul. As I set about the task of writing everything down, I experienced exorcism. If I wanted any kind of reprieve, I had to let go of the narrative that the demons in the back of my head had been constantly whispering to me. For years I held onto my lyrics like personal diary entries. Now is the time for a different approach.\" This record marks the debut of Mike Sharp on drums, adding a natural fire to the engine. His presence grinds down their metallic industrial edge with a live percussive maelstrom. Once again, Greenberg assumed production duties behind the board at Strange Weather. Building on the approach from their last LP, the band perfected the powerful hybrid of digital and analog, electronic and acoustic, synthetic and actual that has become their hallmark. In another first, Mixing duties were not handled by Greenberg, but rather handed off to the inimitable Randall Dunn at his studio Circular Ruin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e09\/11\/2020\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSBON-258\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e843563128763\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cb\u003eUniform\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cb\u003eSacred Bones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003ePunk \/ Metal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39266015838269,"sku":"PNK-U-843563128763","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/shame.jpg?v=1616037190"},{"product_id":"uniform-5-mental-wounds-not-healing-12092813","title":"Uniform - Mental Wounds Not Healing on Sacred Bones Records - Clear Vinyl","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVINYL CONDITION: Sealed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCOVER CONDITION: VG+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNOTES: 2018 US pressing.

Comprised of an amalgam of abrasive influence that spans Swans-y dirge and purge, Whitehouse's clenched-jaw noise, middle-period Ministry's penchant for metallic post-industrial everything, New Order's nose for melodic emotionality, and Juicy J-inspired beats, Uniform \u0026amp; the Body's approach delves deeper down the rabbit hole than before, igniting a sonic world of terror and bliss poised to grip the throats of fans yet again. Prepare for a record that the band self-describes as \"the middle ground between Robyn and Corrupted, but weirder.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe collaboration between the two bands was built upon mutual admiration for each other's work, which led to bonds of friendship. After the release of the debut collaborative effort, Uniform released the critically praised The Long Walk and embarked on a smash tour with Deafheaven and Drab Majesty, while The Body released the widely acclaimed I Have Fought Against It, But I Can't Any Longer and took to the road for their own successful and extensive North American tour. The demand for the collaboration eventually necessitated a U.S. jaunt, pairing the collective for rare dates with Author \u0026amp; Punisher and Street Sects on both coasts. It was on those dates that the bands started to plant the seeds for what would become Everything That Dies Someday Comes Back. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMuch like the collective's bombastic debut, Everything was built over a series of collaborative sessions with Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets in Rhode Island, mixing industrial-influenced synths, squalls of harsh noise, manipulated guitar, oodles of samples along with hard rock-inspired riffs, saccharine pop, and the alternately antagonistic and harrowing vocals of Michael Berdan and Chip King. The result is nine tracks of ear-bleeding and confrontational fury with defined moments of beauty that bring to mind equal parts No Trend, Merzbow, and Information Society while forging a path that is distinctly their own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEverything That Dies Someday Comes Back is specifically culled from the immortal Bruce Springsteen effort Nebraska, joining a long line of literary and cinematic references that pepper the album. And while the title is specific to that lyric, the sentiment also ties into author James Elroy and his notion that closure is an illusion, a conclusion found in his 1996 effort My Dark Places. Dealing with tragic loss is never a closed book, and the details, circumstances, and inherent emotions that surround coping never end, they just morph into something else, only to rear their ugly head again later in life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e02\/10\/2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSBON-3C2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e843563155066\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eUniform \u0026amp; the Body\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSacred Bones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePunk \/ Metal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40500819263549,"sku":"PNK-U-843563155066","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/843563155066.jpg?v=1675789649"},{"product_id":"boris-uniform-bright-new-disease-red-vinyl","title":"Boris \u0026 Uniform - Bright New Disease [Red Vinyl]","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-10\" id=\"aec-main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-product-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\" id=\"aec-product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoris and Uniform might have seemed like a strange pairing when they teamed up for a US tour back in 2019.

Sacred Bones Records is proud to present the Boris \u0026amp; Uniform collaborative album Bright New Disease.Bright New Disease opens with the collaboration's first single, \"You're the Beginning,\" a ferocious thrash-inflected banger concocted by the Boris camp. From there the album continues its relentless assault with \"Weaponized Grief,\" a fevered mashup of Japanese D-beat and Boredoms' deliberately mismatched sonic textures.

But these deviations only serve to make the album closer and second single, \"Not Surprised,\" all the more bleak, anguished, and harrowing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e06\/16\/2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSBA-009LPC3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e843563159286D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eBoris \u0026amp; Uniform\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/\u003cstrong\u003e Sacred Bones Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePunk \/ Metal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40654926643261,"sku":"PNK-B-843563159286D","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/SBA009_1_cb15bd84-270f-4327-a15c-14fc011ff1c0.jpg?v=1686858338"},{"product_id":"uniform-american-standard-translucent-green-vinyl","title":"Uniform - American Standard [Translucent Green Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican Standard begins with a shock. Vocalist Michael Berdan stands alone, \u003cspan\u003escreaming, \"A part of me, but it can't be me. Oh God, it can't.\" It all starts with an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eadmission. Beneath the harrowing screams, there's the pain of bulimia nervosa. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere's the pain of a sickness that is as physical as it is psychological. This is a kind of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eemergence. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith every movement of American Standard, Uniform peels off a new layer and tells \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe story inside of the one that came before it. The lyrics sink down into the core of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe innermost self, the small human being crushed in the grip of sickness. To help \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epeel away this narrative of eating disorders, self-hatred, delusion, mania, and ultimate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ediscovery, Berdan sought assistance from a towering pair of outsider literary figures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlongside B.R. Yeager (author of the modern cult-classic Negative Space) and Maggie \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSiebert (the mind behind the contemporary body horror masterpiece Bonding), the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethree writers eviscerate the personal material to present a portrait of mental and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ephysical illness as vividly terrifying as anything in the present-day canon. The result is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ean acute articulation of a state beyond simple agony, capturing the thrilling transcendence and deliverance that sickness can bring in the process. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmerican Standard is surely Uniform's most thematically accomplished and musically \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eself assured album to date. Sections spiral and explode. Motifs drift off into obscurity \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebefore reasserting themselves with new power. Genres collide and burst open, forming something idiosyncratic and new. There's a grandeur, due in part to the addition \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eof Interpol bassist Brad Truax alongside the percussive push and pull of returning \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edrummer Michael Sharp and longtime touring drummer Michael Bloom, marking \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehis Uniform recorded debut here. However, this magnificence is most clearly attributable to the scale and power of guitarist and founder Ben Greenberg's arrangements, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ematching ever elegantly to the intense lyrical subject matter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithout a shred of doubt, American Standard is a work of art, agonizing in it's honesty \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand relentless in it's pursuit of sonic transcendence. It is hideous. It is beautiful.
