The Road: Part I is the fifth studio album by UNKLE, released on August 18, 2017, marking the first release from the electronic music act in seven years. The album draws inspiration from James Lavelle's experience curating the Meltdown Festival at London's Southbank Centre in 2014.
In discussing the album, Lavelle noted that the creation of The Road: Part I was influenced by a desire to return to the roots of his musical style while incorporating contemporary elements of modern London. With the project primarily driven by Lavelle alone, the album reflects a personal and introspective approach, blending his foundational sounds with a modern twist.
