    Drunk Uncle isolated themselves into a cabin on an East Texas farm to write and record the follow up to their debut Look Up in 2022. The result "O, brittle weather!" is a thoughtful, probing album that explores a cacophony of sounds in a playful and whimsical way. The album feels like a telling of a great story- songs like pages colored with splashes of acoustic and electric guitars, floating bass, keys, horns, and percussion that ranges from a whole kit to a single tambourine that succinctly cues up the next chapter. Narrated by melodic vocals belting out emotional poetry, "O, brittle weather!" seems to plead with you to keep listening until the last word. Then, it begs you to listen again.

    Most bands are content to just collect a handful of songs and group them together as an album. Drunk Uncle strived to make something bigger than themselves. And wouldn't you know it, they succeeded.

    "O, brittle weather!" comes out 5/24 on Count Your Lucky Stars. Available digitally and on vinyl.

lyrics

Now the sky swims fast
Past my dim and idle eyes
While something nameless
Pleads for me to go and try and capture it

Then from deep inside I split
Cause I could stay put
And tell myself that “this’ll be the last time”
That I say
That “this’ll be the last time”
But I think it’ll really be

Cause that excuse is starting to suffocate me
So let’s try the other side
Disconnect all associations that
I’ve linked with a gray and brooding sky

Cause come to think of it

Your smile seemed to look
All the better
When it was framed with
Less-than perfect weather

So despite the wind and ice
I think I’ll go outside

The sky is painted gray today
(I think I’ll go outside)
Like the pale inside pouring out
From the belly of a deer
(I'll go outside)
I see now
That we're fading here
And that’s alright!
I’ll go outside
