“… It’s guitar
riffery and sweet, strong melodies tinged with loneliness and listlessness”– NZ Herald, 5 stars
“Within the
first 30 seconds of opening track Can’t Keep Checking My Phone, you know you’re
in the presence of genius” –Sunday
Star Times, 5 stars
“If Prince had
listened to The Mint Chicks third album Screens and then collaborated with
Ruban Nielson himself, I’m not sure we’d have a finer album than we have here” – Cheeseontoast.co.nz

Unknown Mortal Orchestra
– the Portland via New Zealand outfit fronted by psychedelic visionary Ruban
Nielson – will return to New Zealand for a highly anticipated run of national
dates in December.
Nielson will be joined by his cohorts from his adopted hometown – bassist Jacob
Portrait, drummer Riley Geare, and keyboardist Quincy McCrary. The shows will
mark UMO’s first shows back in New Zealand since their exclusive date at the St
Jerome’s Laneway Festival in 2014.
Already one of the year’s best albums, Multi-Love follows the introspective and
road-weary II (2013) and their self-titled 2011 debut, which blew the lid off
the bedroom project started by Nielson following his relocation to Portland and
the dissolution of The Mint Chicks.
Though conceived in the bedroom, UMO are a force to be reckoned with on stage.
With Geare and Portrait locking down a tight groove, Nielson’s guitar prowess
really comes to the fore. The band’s songs often descend into extended
psychedelic jams, and with the addition of McCrary on keys, their new material
– as well as favourites from their first two records – has taken on an extra
dimension live. Don’t miss them when they play songs from Multi-Love in New
Zealand for the very first time.
Multi-Love is out now on Jagjaguwar and proudly distributed in New Zealand by Rhythmethod.
