On May 26th, Unknown Mortal Orchestra will return with its new album, Multi-Love. Due out through Jagjaguwar, the follow-up to 2013’s II finds the band exploring the roots of psychedelic rock, as well the bonds they’ve made over the years.

A press release explains further: “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. Here, [frontman Ruban] Nielson reflects on relationships: airy, humid longing, loss, the geometry of desire that occurs when three people align. Where he addressed the pain of being alone on II, Multi-Love takes on the complications of being together.”



As the latest preview of the LP, UMO has unveiled “Can’t Keep Checking My Phone”. Funk-filled and slinky, the track is about the constant need for loved ones to stay connected via technology. Listen in below.
