UD IV by Union Duke

UD IV is Union Duke's fourth full-length studio album and their first major album release in a decade. It marks a transition with the departure of original bass player Will Staunton halfway through the recording. The album was completed by the four remaining members, Matt Warry-Smith, Ethan Smith, Jim McDonald, and Rob McLaren, with the addition of Ian McKeown on bass. Canadian legend Aaron Goldstein played pedal steel, and Joel Visentin is featured on organ and accordion. The album is also the first to feature leads from four different members of the band. It would appear good things come in fours!
