Uranium Club Announce New Album Infants Under the Bulb, Share New Song: Listen

Uranium Club, the virtuoso punk weirdos also called the Minneapolis Uranium Club Band, are making their long-awaited return with a new album. Infants Under the Bulb is out March 1 via Static Shock and Anti Fade; Iron Lung is distributing in the United States. Listen to the album’s opener, “Small Grey Man,” below.

The last Uranium Club full-length was 2019’s The Cosmo Cleaners. As is their custom at this point, the band members created the album artwork themselves, and the process seems pretty involved. Here’s how they put it in the album announcement:

The spectacular cover shot captures a carefully coordinated event orchestrated by the Club to photograph a crowd of the local volunteers wearing ponchos standing together in an open field to make the shape of a giant spiral. The spiral pictured is 120 feet (36.5 meters) wide, photographed by drone, and was plotted out on the ground using a protractor specially fabricated for the occasion by the band with a pivoting centre and 60ft long adjustable arm.
