Where are we headed? What are we consuming, how is it affecting us, and why does everything feel so bad and weird sometimes? These are some of the questions posed on Ruban Nielson's fourth album as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Sex \u0026amp; Food - a delightfully shapeshifting album that filters these real-deal serious themes through a vibrant sonic lens that spans battered drum-machine funk, doomy and thrashing rock, and pink-hued psychedelic disco. Recorded in a variety of locales from Seoul and Hanoi to Reykjavik, Mexico City, and Auckland, Sex \u0026amp; Food is a practical musical travelogue, with local musicians from the countries that Nielson and his band visited pitching in throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e Shop online at 24\/7.\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BWSCD, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43057023942877,"sku":"656605232218","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/sze0xoh7pignyhq9h7wi.jpg?v=1731269268"},{"product_id":"unknown-mortal-orchestra-v-preorder","title":"Unknown Mortal Orchestra- V (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRelease Date: 3\/17\/23\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated between Palm Springs, California and Hilo, Hawai'i, V is the first double album from the Hawaiian-New Zealand singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Ruban Nielson's Unknown Mortal Orchestra band.

Over a laidback blend of singalong anthems and cinematic instrumentals, he evokes blue skies, afternoons spent lounging by hotel swimming pools and the alluring darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces. It's a duality expressed in the dilapidated sunset blues and the saltcorroded soul Ruban explores through tracks like 'Layla' and 'Nadja. ' During the pandemic's early days, Ruban reunited with Kody at a cousin's wedding in Hawai'i.

He wanted to write his version of records like that, leading to the two glorious uptempo singles Unknown Mortal Orchestra released in 2021, 'Weekend Run' and 'That Life'. However, the golden good times never last forever. Not long after, health issues began to plague his extended family. Putting his recordings aside, he helped his mother and his uncle move home from New Zealand and Portland to Hawai'i, and began dividing his time between Hawai'i and Palm Springs. During this period he reconnected with his relatives, reassessed his past, and started to look at things with fresh eyes. Hawai'i brought back memories of the darker side of his parents' lifestyle as entertainers. On those trips, he heard those classic AM radio rock records everywhere. They were inextricably intertwined with the palm trees, swimming pools, and glamorized hedonism he'd internalized from his childhood. There's a type of music in Hawai'i called Hapa-haole (Half white). You can hear it expressed in signature Unknown Mortal Orchestra style through the humid guitar-led atmosphere of V's penultimate song, 'I Killed Captain Cook'. Although the songs are presented in a traditional Hawaiian manner, they're mostly sung in English. Having been influenced by Hawaiian music since Unknown Mortal Orchestra's first album, Ruban saw a space for himself within the tradition.

II, the sophomore album from UMO, emerged in an era rampant hedonism and isolationism and became the blueprint for everything Nielson has become renowned for. It was, and is, the solidification of Unknown Mortal Orchestra as an endlessly intriguing, brave and addictive band. Ten years on, it's back with an expanded edition.\nWritten during a punishing, debauched touring schedule during which Nielson feared for both his sanity and health, II illustrates the emotional turmoil of life on the road, painting surrealist, cartoonish portraits of loneliness, love and despair. These conflicting themes are evident immediately; on the album's sleeve is an unnerving image of Janet Farrar, the famous British witch, Wiccan, author and teacher of witchcraft. The chilling refrain of opener \"Into The Sun\" sees Nielson deliver the line \"Isolation can put a gun in your hand,\" softly, his words starkly intelligible above a warm, slow-burning melody that quickly brands itself onto your brain. His playful imagery (\"I'm so lonely I've gotta eat my popcorn all alone\") mirrors the melody, before a solo that borders on psychotropic ends II's introduction. UMO is unafraid to dig deeper than the rest, their intoxicating, opiate groove bringing rock'n'roll's exaggerated myths to life. And as it unfolds, II does find Nielson reenergized. \"One At A Time\" and \"Faded In The Morning\" boast dizzying choruses and instrumentals; these crusty hunks could have been excavated from a lost 1960s treasure trove. \"Monki\" unravels over seven minutes like the yarn from a stoner's cardigan with an eye-frying pattern. \"Dawn\" is a minute of disconcerting noise that stands out between the nooks and crannies of the choruses, guitar solos, groove-heavy bass and drums that were recorded live by newly-recruited drummer Greg Rogove and Kody Nielson in a move away from the electronic percussion employed on album one. II closes with \"Secret Xtians,\" a tender observational puzzle that fizzes to a satisfied end.\nIn celebration of the album's 10th anniversary Nielson's complete collection from the II era is finally available in one compilation, and features the five acoustic tracks from the Blue EP as well as two additional B-sides. Unknown Mortal Orchestra was once Nielson's closeted concern. With an album that uses his singular musical imagination and extraordinary talent to parade his emotions with unyielding honesty, it is now a fully realized band operating at the peak of it's powers ten years on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e So Good at Being in Trouble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One at a Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Opposite of Afternoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Need for a Leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Monki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Faded in the Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Secret Xtians LP2: Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark) [Acoustic Version] [Acoustic Version]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Faded in the Morning (Acoustic Version) [Acoustic Version]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e So Good at Being in Trouble (Acoustic Version) [Acoustic Version]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swing Lo Magellan (Acoustic Version) [Acoustic Version]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Puttin It Down (Acoustic Version) [Acoustic Version]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Two Generations of Excess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Waves of Confidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e Shop online at 24\/7.\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BWSCD, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44063339512029,"sku":"617308056426","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4250716-3043007.jpg?v=1731393680"},{"product_id":"unknown-mortal-orchestra-unknown-mortal-orchestra-1","title":"Unknown Mortal Orchestra- Unknown Mortal Orchestra (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE ORCHARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44909886701789,"sku":"767981125015","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/1841839.jpg?v=1727260228"},{"product_id":"unknown-mortal-orchestra-multi-love-2","title":"Unknown Mortal Orchestra- Multi-Love (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe threads of our past never unravel, they hover like invisible webs, occasionally glistening due to a sly angle of the sun.

The studio, normally used for traditional Vietnamese music, found the band jamming on sessions dubbed IC-01 Hanoi: exploring the outer edges of the band's influences in jazz, fusion and the avant-garde.
