Un-United Kingdom
Un-United Kingdom is an EP from Pitchshifter, released on MCA Records on 6 September 1999. It arrived between the albums www.pitchshifter.com (1998) and Deviant (2000), and it sits in the band's electronic-leaning industrial rock vein.
The EP is dedicated to a close friend of the band, Ken Owen of Carcass, who suffered a severe intracerebral haemorrhage, spent ten months in a coma and eventually recovered. In January 2020 the band announced a "redux" of the title song, with extra guest vocals, timed to land on the day of Brexit. That gives a record from the end of the 1990s an unexpected second life, and makes it a handy starting point for anyone tracing the group's story.
