Unknown Mortal Orchestra Unleash Their Brilliant 'Multi-Love' LP

Unknown Mortal Orchestra Unleashes Their Third Studio Album 'Multi-Love' (NPR First Look Stream)

It's been roughly three years since New Zealand's psychedelically-tinged trio Unknown Mortal Orchestra graced the world with their potent blend of oddly perfect pop schematics and experimental r&b styles, but their third studio album Multi-Love is here and it's pretty damn brilliant. The follow-up to their critically adored II LP has been well on its way for months now, with the slightly disco-touched and funky-to-the-bone single "Can't Keep Checking My Phone" and the break-heavy title-track both warming us up for the storm. But now you can fall all the way into this vortex of shapeshifting musical loveliness, ranging from airy Beatles-esque melodies to more folksy funk to gritty, distorted garage tempering. And with albums like this, we could use a thousand words to try and capture the undefinable and infectious charms, and still come up short. Si this one's one you, fam. Hit the link below to get an early ear on Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Multi-Love LP, courtesy of NPR's First Look. Preorder the record on iTunes today and let us know where you lay (or how it lays on you) in the comment section.
