Through an industrialized mill of grating guitars, warped electronics, war-torn percussion, and demonically catchy vocalizations, Uniform have bulldozed a path to the forefront of underground music. Born in 2013, Uniform’s debut LP Perfect World (2015) was released on 12XU in the States and ALTER abroad. Following its success they migrated to Sacred Bones. Wake in Fright (2017) was followed by The Long Walk (2018) which solidified their place as purveyors of industrial noise. After 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 Live at the End of the World (2020). Shame (2020) is a full of neck-snapping riffs, guttural distortion, percussive maelstrom, anguished howls, and spiteful screams towards oblivion. And in 2023 Uniform teamed up with chameleonic doom icons Boris for the collaborative full-length, Bright New Disease. Delving deeper into 2024, the band will soon unleash what is arguably the apex of their body of work. Out on August 23, American Standard is a journey of visceral discomfort and brutal honesty channeled through a portrait of sickness and the thrilling transcendence it can bring. Presented alongside a two-drummer rhythmic onslaught and deceptively melodic songcraft, it is Uniform’s most ambitious album to date.
