Label: Fat Possum

Comments: The promoter labels Unknown Mortal Orchestra as frontman Ruban Nielson's "vision of a junkshop record collector pop", and that might well sum up what's happening on this self-titled debut. Nielson, a New Zealand native who also plays guitar for The Mint Chicks, and bandmates Jake Portrait and Julien Ehrlich have delivered an LP that's grounded in '60s psychedelia, while leaving room for funk, soul, krautrock and whatever else comes to mind.
But, most of all, this is a pop record; "FFunny FFrends" and "How Can You Luv Me" are two summertime gems, and there's plenty more where those came from. For fans of The Beta Band, Captain Beefheart, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Super Furry Animals. Spin tracks 1, 5 and 3.
