Chumbawamba announces the release of their new album 'Un' due June

NEW YORK (KOCH Records announcement) - 'Everywhere there are people who are fed up with the dominant values, who seek to change their own lives, to open new spaces and construct a more dignified present

KOCH Records is set to release Un, the new record by Chumbawamba on June 8th. This is Chumbawamba's 13th full-length record, and it's unlike anything they've done before. Crossing continents and styles, Chumbawamba have written songs about people and events that have touched their lives. Whether singing about Mujeres Creandos in Bolivia, two cricketeers in Zimbabwe or the bullying which lead up to the Columbine massacre, Chumbawamba have a knack for picking out what is human and making sense of what seems random and inexplicable.
Mixing satire, cold fury and moments of optimism, Chumbawamba have made an album which is full of melodies and stories picked up from other continents and cultures. Un is big in scope and ambition.

The song "On Ebay" was written after Coalition forces stood idly by while watching the looting of the Baghdad museum. "On Ebay" shows that the war in Iraq is not only the taking of land and power but also an attempt to conquer mental and emotional terrain, leaving the Iraqi people humiliated, without a past and no future other than the one prescribed by the Coalition.
On the track "Just Desserts," Chumbawamba sing about the way that humor is a subversive weapon against the rich, the powerful and the pompous; even the Bill Gates of this world cannot hide from a custard pie.
