Unknown Mortal Orchestra EP

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Four tracks of warped, tape-saturated psych-rock. Shuffling funk rhythms meet dusty guitar hooks in a record that sounds like a rediscovered 1970s relic.

It sounds like a lost funk-psych record from 1972 that someone left out in the sun too long.

A restless and mysterious blend of soulful yearning and psychedelic detachment.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The initial crunch of the drum break on Ffunny Ffrends that sounds like it was sampled from a 1971 soul 45.
The frantic, jittery guitar lines in Nerve Damage! that feel like a nervous breakdown captured on magnetic tape.
The way the vocals on Thought Ballune seem to float behind a thick curtain of analog distortion.
