‘The Dismemberment Plan are one of the greatest art-punk bands in Washington, D.C. history — and if you know anything about Washington, D.C. or art-punk, you know that saying that is saying something’ – Stereogum

Listen to three new songs from 'UNCANNEY VALLEY':
INVISIBLE
WAITING
DADDY WAS A REAL GOOD DANCER
 
Since forming in Washington, D.C. in 1993, the band has released four highly acclaimed full-lengths, toured the world many times over (as special guests to Pearl Jam and a co-headline with Death Cab For Cutie on the Death and Dismemberment Tour) and became one of the most well respected-and indefinable-acts in indie rock. But the past decade has seen their members exploring other areas both inside and outside of music, and even embracing adulthood. All four band members are still involved in music and bands but Axelson has been teaching in public schools, Morrison worked for The Huffington Post and The Washington Post, and now is the president of his own start-up Shoutabl, Caddell has been a freelance audio engineer for political events ranging from presidential elections to the G8 Summit and Easley received a degree in Aerospace Engineering and now works at NASA.
 
However, along the way something funny happened: They reunited three years ago to play some shows to support the reissue of 1999's Emergency & I, and realized their most potent magic had yet to be made.
 
This spirit of collaboration paired with the members' diverse taste and life experiences are what make Uncanney Valley such an enthralling listen-and although the group remains unsure what the future holds for them, the most important thing right now is that they exist here in the moment.

Ultimately, whether the members are controlling robots on a space station or performing live with an enthusiasm that transcends age, The Dismemberment Plan are a special band, and Uncanney Valley solidifies that as times change and tides shift, this will always hold true.
