HYPE: Unknown Mortal Orchestra

I like this. I like this a lot. The premier blogs have been touting this recently and I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to actually getting round to listening to it. I’ve become instantly enamored. A tinge of lo-fi to these funked out proceedings make for an incredibly addictive concoction. The music is simply irresistible , I mean, who could resist busting a groove to “How Can U Love Me”? A song that seems to pack in the best, fuzzed-up elements of the most recent lo-fi guitar acts with a more melodic, late 70′s-sounding vibe. With the buzz around them right now, I can only assume that we should expect big things of the “anonymous and psychedelic lo-fi tour de force that is Unknown Mortal Orchestra”. Buy the debut EP here.
