Dutch Uncles announce Polygon Hotel and share single No Note
The Manchester band's self-produced album is due February 19 through Memphis Industries, marking its first album as a sextet.
Manchester art-pop band Dutch Uncles have unveiled Polygon Hotel, the follow-up to their 2023 album True Entertainment, alongside lead single “No Note.” Memphis Industries will issue the new record on February 19.
The band handled production, while Felix Davis mixed the album. Longtime collaborators Henry Broadhead, a multi-instrumentalist, and Neil Wright, a guitarist, have joined as full members, expanding the group to six musicians for its first album with that lineup.
Band member Duncan Wallis said “No Note” concerns regret over time spent on phones and social media, including who has come to control those platforms. He said writing the lyrics took only five minutes. Patrick King directed the accompanying video, with CGI animation by Miles Buckle.
The album's tracklist includes “Catapulting,” “Rialto” and “Chosen.” The band also has March shows scheduled in Glasgow, Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, London and Leeds, with a London performance at the 100 Club on March 18.
