LISTEN TO THE DEBUT
SINGLE & TITLE TRACK, MULTI-LOVE
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.
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,” he says. “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. Multi-Love is out May 2015 on Jagjaguwar &
proudly distributed in New Zealand via Rhythmethod.
