Vector53 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The threads of our past never unravel, they hover like invisible webs, occasionally glistening due to a sly angle of the sun. On Multi-Love, Unknown Mortal Orchestra frontman and multi-instrumentalist Ruban Nielson reflects on relationships: airy, humid longing, loss, the geometry of desire that occurs when three people align. Where Nielson addressed the pain of being alone on II, Multi-Love takes on the complications of being together.UMO’s new album is out May 26th on Jagjaguwar. Listen to title track “Multi-Love” above or on our SoundCloud page and YouTube.. Pre-order Multi-Love via SCD/direct, Amazon, iTunes, your local record store. Multi-Love adds dimensions to the band’s already kaleidoscopic approach, with Nielson exploring a newfound appreciation for synthesizers. The new songs channel the spirit of psych innovators without ignoring the last 40 years of music, forming a flowing, cohesive whole that reflects restless creativity. Cosmic escapes and disco rhythms speak to developing new vocabulary, while Nielson’s vocals reach powerful new heights. “It felt good to be rebelling against the typical view of what an artists is today, a curator,” says Ruban. “It’s more about being someone who makes things happen in concrete ways. Building old synthesizers and bringing them back to life, creating sounds that aren’t quite like anyone else’s. I think that’s much more subversive.” While legions of artists show fidelity to the roots of psychedelia, Unknown Mortal Orchestra shares the rare quality that makes the genre’s touchstones so vital: constant exploration. Additionally, US and UK tour dates have been announced, and will go on pre-sale on Friday. Full dates + track listing after the jump. MULTI-LOVE TRACKLISTING 1. Multi-Love 2. Like Acid Rain 3.

segal-train Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I really enjoyed the first two, and will almost certainly enjoy this too. The 40 minutes of sonic exploration seems pretty interesting - does anyone know what its all about? Not sure if it makes the deluxe version worth it.

Vector53 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Based on the singles I thought this would be better. Too bad. I would argue and say that it's a pretty fantastic album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I would argue and say that it's a pretty fantastic album. and thirded It's a great album, I can tell it's going to be a grower. It's much more adventurous, and like it or not it's a new direction. I think it shows real growth as an artist, and could see it becoming my favorite. Some songs are reminiscent of older material but I really like some of the funkier, soulful songs its like prince in his heyday. It's a lot less lofi, but it still maintains some of the qualities that made me fall in love from the beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChardeeMacDennis Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 This is a very Prince side of UMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNstuff Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 it definitely feels a little different listening to it after reading about the very literal meaning behind the album. The prince influence is definitely there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAXXX Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 i keep hearing tunes off this album and i like the album the more i hear it. i'm on board with it now, but when i first checked out the singles i wasn't too keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
