Unknown Mortal Orchestra, the brainchild of former Mint Chicks member Ruban Neilson, debuted their initial offering (the single track "Ffunny Ffreiends") anonymously on Bandcamp without explanation, source, or fanfare. Upon various blogs and curious parties' elevated interest, Neilson dubbed the track a product of Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The remainder of their history seemingly attracts similar secrecy and a knowing lack of disclosure. With firm roots in throwback psychedelia and steadfast experimental pop, their debut album and consequential follow-up "II" quickly became critical darlings.
Their latest offering, "Multi-Love", is a welcome-change of pace however. Sprinkling hints of lo-fi synth tapestries, (meticulously) compressed drums and some of the finest production of the year- Neilson has broken his own patented formula by raiding the bins of avant-funk and deep soul. The results are a surprisingly tactile bag of legitimate jams and bedroom eyed grooves that service the melancholic dancefloors and after hours clubs equally.
