Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Psych rock with shades of Black Keys, Tame Impala, Prince, Spanish Gold, and My Morning Jacket. Pretty tight groove and cool sound.  Digging it.  According to the Spotify bio, this is one dude from Portland, named Ruban Neilson, with his brother on drums and his dad on "occasional" horns. However, their website says that the band is Neilson and two other dudes (Jake Portrait and Riley Geare).  Whoever is involved, they are doing something cool here.

The most listened-to track on Spotify is called "So Good at Being in Trouble," from 2013's II.  Here are the Black Keys and Spanish Gold comparisons.  Just over 6 million listens.

McLovin'!  That video doesn't make much sense and it leaves me unfulfilled in the end.  But the song it sweet.  Since that 2013 album, he recently put out a new album in 2015.  Here is the title track from the 2015 album Multi-Love, with about 3.7 million listens:

"She wants to bury me in Austin under Uchiko."  What?  Have no clue what the heck that is supposed to mean.  But it is a groovy tune anyway.  No song off of the original, eponymous debut album cracks the top ten most popular tracks on Spotify, but one other tune from II has almost 3.5 million spins, and a cool title, "Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)"

Love the tune.  Excellent song.  And, when your video starts off with a puppet making love to itself, then you know its good.  Cool band, like what I'm hearing and would give them a shot at the Fest.
