Portland’s Unknown Mortal Orchestra, born of the blogger and Bandcamp boom of the early ’10s, and creators of the spaciest lo-fi psych are coming in hot to 2018 with a new full-length entitled ‘Sex & Food.’ Judging by the first two singles ‘American Guilt’ and ‘Not In Love We’re Just High,’ UMO’s Ruban Nielson is far from straying away from the aesthetics that make Unknown Mortal Orchestra unmistakably distinct from other artists flying the psych-rock banner. Throughout the band’s evolution, Ruban’s angular, behind the beat, lo-fi delivery as a vocalist still sounds as fresh today as he did when he anonymously dropped ‘Ffunny Ffriends‘ back in 2010. Ruban’s eclecticism shines through in the albums he’s shared today from his record collection ahead of the release of ‘Sex & Food’ in April.

Check out his selections below, and while you’re here, you can both pre-order ‘Sex & Food’ via UMO’s site and snag a few of UMO’s previous releases in the Discogs Marketplace.
