Unknown Mortal Orchestra by Jenny Nielson
Unknown Mortal Orchestra were back last October with their I Killed Captain Cook single.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra will release their new double album V on March 17th.
Crafted between Palm Springs, California and Hilo, Hawaii, the record will reflect the west coast and Hapa-haole sounds and vibe soaked up by Ruban Nielson whilst there.

“I also learned that things I thought were true of myself are bigger than I thought. My way of making mischief – that’s not just me – that’s my whole Polynesian side. I thought I was walking away from music to focus on family, but the two ended up connecting.”
The LP’s first single is Layla:
