How Can U Luv Me
Unknown Mortal Orchestra was conceived as a on-man project in New Zealand, but its originator has relocated to Portland. HE has grown from an anonymous song on Bandcamp to a self-titled debut LP released June 21 on Fat Possum Records and the formation a full band for a tour. As a whole, this record manages to integrate a pretty diverse group of sounds. The LP is a journey in genre jumping that takes you from break-beats, to 60s Beatle-esque nostalgic harmonies, to soul, and over
to some Kraut synth, and sometimes a multitude of combinations are in just one song. As strange as that may sound, it's done right...and it's done oh so well. It's a trip you'll enjoy taking over and over because you'll learn something new about it every time you listen...it's just that sort of album. Take a listen to two tracks off the LP and then go grab your copy here. You'll get 3 extra tracks if you buy the digital copy at the band's store. They're coming to L.A. in support of Yuck for two dates in a couple of weeks...catch them at the Troubadour on July 30 ($13 tickets) and the Satellite on July 31 ($13 tickets).
