It follows the return of Unknown Mortal Orchestra last June with Weekend Run.

A second new track has been released by Unknown Mortal Orchestra as Ruban Nielson continues to carve a path post the 2018 records Sex & Food and IC-01 Hanoi.

“I saw this painting by Hieronymus Bosch called The Garden of Earthly Delights and in the painting there was a mixture of crazy stuff going on, representing heaven, earth, and hell,” he says of That Life.

“When I was writing this song, I was imaging the same kind of ‘Where’s Waldo’ (or ‘Where’s Wally’ as we call it in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK) of contrasting scenes and multiple characters all engaged in that same perverse mixture of luxury, reverie, damnation, in the landscape of America. Somewhere on holiday under a vengeful sun.”
