It’s been six years. U.N.K.L.E.’s grimy, turn-of-the-century hip-hop opus, Psyence Fiction, is now considered by many a cult classic—having altered minds from Los Angeles to London, Paris to Tokyo. However, during the group’s absence, the cultural climate has changed. Now hip-hop’s collective mindset is elsewhere, music is more disposable, and nostalgia for the heroes of the past is fading.

With its new album, Never, Never Land, U.N.K.L.E. embraces reinvention, straying from its predominantly hip-hop origins—opting instead for dreamy, well-crafted songs.
