Uknown Mortal Orchestra will release a new album this spring.
'Sex & Food' will arrive on April 6 through Jagjaguwar and follow up 'Multi-Love'. It was recorded in a number of locations, including Seoul, Hanoi, Reykjavik, Mexico City, Auckland, and Ruban Nielson's home studio in Portland.
Head below to watch the video for the band's new single, American Guilt. Speaking about it, guitarist and songwriter Neilson said:
"American Guilt is an attempt to capture some of the feelings floating around these days. In a perverse way I wanted to embrace this abandoned genre of rock music that I keep reading is "dead" and invite people to hear what this living dead genre sounds like in the UMO universe. It was recorded in Hanoi, Vietnam during monsoon season in a studio built for traditional Vietnamese music. Additional recording was done in Mexico City but our sessions were interrupted by one of the devastating earthquakes that occurred there last year. As we slept in the Parque de Mexico, unable to get back to our Air BnB, we heard a man yell "Viva la Mexico!" and I put this in the song out of respect for them."
