V

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

A sprawling double album of sun-bleached psych-rock. Warm analog textures meet West Coast AOR and Hawaiian melodies for a long, hazy drive through the desert.

It's like finding a pristine Steely Dan tape that's been melting in a desert gas station for forty years.

A sun-drenched, nostalgic haze that balances tropical serenity with a lingering desert loneliness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the guitar on Layla mimics a vocal melody with its sliding, Hawaiian-influenced phrasing.
The transition into the extended, hypnotic groove of The Garden that sets a sprawling pace for the record.
The stark, acoustic intimacy of I Killed Captain Cook which strips away the fuzz for a moment of folk clarity.
