Per NME:

It's been previewed with a new track called 'Ar.Mour'
UNKLE have announced their sixth album ‘The Road: Part 2/Lost Highway’, which is due to be released in March. Check out the first track ‘Ar.Mour’ below.
The electronica outfit, founded by James Lavelle, released their fifth album ‘The Road: Part 1‘ in 2017. It followed 2010’s ‘Where Did The Night Fall‘ and set up a trilogy of new records.

Speaking about the upcoming release, Lavelle said it was inspired by his recent stint on London’s Soho Radio.
“I started doing a show on Soho Radio in 2018, which made me think about playing records in a different way,” he explains in a press release. “It wasn’t about trying to make people dance in a nightclub. It was a breath of fresh air, and about playing a more eclectic mix.

“‘The Road: Part II’ was made in the same way – it’s a mixtape and a journey. You’re in your car, starting in the day and driving into the night. The language of it was to be the ultimate road trip.”

The new album features a plethora of guest appearances – including Queen of The Stone Age drummer Jon Theodore, Mick Jones of The Clash, Editors’ Tom Smith, and Mark Lanegan.

Lanegan was on the last record as well, singing on the song Looking for The Rain.  That song also had a very random 7" pressed that came with an action figure / turntable weight that cost $50 through the Super 7:

Lanegan also sang on the UNKLE record Where Did The  Night Fall on the song Another Night Out.  It seems like they have a very long collaborative history.
