New UMO Album (Again)

2018-09-25 by SandwichBubble | 5 Comments
In a surprising turn of events, psychedelic pop band Unknown Mortal Orchestra have already announced their follow-up to Sex & Food, the band's last album. The new album, IC-01 Hanoi, an entirely instrumental affair, pays tribute to jazz and krautrock. Along with this news was the release of "Hanoi 6", which you can listen to below. Their label Jagjaguwar had this to say about the new record:

"At its core Hanoi is a record of exploration, finding its closest antecedent in Miles Davis’ experimental On The Corner – itself a record full of nods toward avant-garde composers and Jazz outsiders alike. Hanoi finds Ruban amplifying and stretching out on lead guitar, with a blown-out and wandering fuzz tone that slinks throughout the sessions. The rest of the group match Ruban’s melodic diversions with aplomb, mining their talents to finding as easy a role in the fusion of funk as they do in the more ambient and abstract tangents on Hanoi."

The new album will be released October 26.

Well, let's hope Sex and Food was a one-time dud.

Not sure what to think of this. I've never been huge on instrumental albums.
