They\u2019re back with their third studio release titled <em>Multi-Love<\/em> released on Jagjaguwar.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s unique brand of lo-fi pop, psych-rock lives on in this stellar release. The band starts the album off with the title track \u201cMulti-Love\u201d that shines in the spotlight and brings a blissful Toro Y Moi vibe as it echoes \u201cmulti-love got me on my knees.\u201d Cosmic bass grooves on tracks like \u201cUr Life One Night\u201d and \u201cThe World Is Crowded\u201d add to the R&amp;B flavor of this record as well.<\/p>\n<p>The third time was really the charm for Unkown Mortal Orchestra with <em>Multi-Love. <\/em>The band shows their hand of social idealogy with the six minute track \u201cExtreme Wealth and Casual Cruelty\u201d that is subtly cheery with acoustic guitar and horns paired with relaxing yet haunting voice of singer and guitarist Ruban Nielson.<\/p>\n<p>The album concludes with a gorgeously bare acoustic turned half-angsty psych-rock track titled \u201cPuzzles.\u201d Nielson proclaims \u201cI don\u2019t want to solve your puzzles anymore.\u201d The seven minute finale retreats gracefully and the acoustic guitar sings its last words.\u00a0Unknown Mortal Orchestra is seemingly in its prime and currently touring the United States with a European tour slated for September.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended If You Like: Toro Y Moi, Bon Iver, Foxygen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended tracks: 6 (The World Is Crowded), 1 (Multi-Love), 8 (Necessary Evil), 5 (Extreme Wealth and Casual Cruelty)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Not Play: None<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by Harrison Hipp 06\/26\/15<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi-Love is an exceptional release right in time for summer.
