CURSE

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Fifteen minutes of haunted, tape-saturated psych-rock. Gritty guitar riffs meet occult imagery in a murky, nocturnal fever dream.

It sounds like a haunted VHS tape of a 70s psych band playing in a basement.

A tense and shadowy exploration of psychedelic rock that feels both ancient and futuristic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the ambient drift of AURA into the aggressive, overdriven guitar riff of BOYS WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WOLVES.
The way the vocals on ONE HUNDRED BATS seem to dissolve into a cloud of analog hiss during the final minute.
The unsettling silence that punctuates the brief, frantic instrumental bursts of SORCERERS OF SILENCE.
