If they keep this up they're going to be Known Immortal Orchestra. Right guys? Right?

[@fernandocelis6990]

I love chill days with UMO, Tame Impala, Pond, King Gizzard... etc really lovely music in this new era of psychedelic rock.

[@joaocarvalho9983]

All from Australia/New Zealand. Crazy.

[@syrethegamer]

@@joaocarvalho9983 Not all, there are good ones from other places too, like Thee Oh Sees, Mild High Club, Skinshape, Crumb and Kikagaku Moyo. But Australia and New Zealand seem to be a hot spot for this new psychedelic rock.

a whole lotta groove..

one of my favorite UMO songs for sure, that haunting little keyboard riff is so cool to me

Fuck, so good at being in trouble was pure perfection

[@darrenturnpenney2914]

Keyboard player rocks. Love the laid back vibe of this band. Classy outfit

[@JaimeLopez-xm5uk]

Both UMO and Tame Impala are showing the world that pop music in the 21st century can be good music! You just have to be a mad genius thats all!

[@dbarrio94]

How are UMO and Tame Impala pop music at all?

[@joekarmazyn2825]

+Stephen Black Exactly. Neo-Psychedelia is a perfect tag.. if you had to pin it.

[@tokenofdevotion]

+Stephen Black You are aware that Ruban (Unknown Mortal Orchestra) and Kevin (Tame Impala) write, produce and record their own songs on their own home-studios right? They'rethe geniuses behind all these powerful songs

[@peasantsoul]

Jaime López yeah. They both take pop, rock, funk, and RandB styles to some cool, new places.

[@thrillofbattle3801]

Well that's always the case (#Madness)

[@danielschloss1111]

Multi Love sends a shiver through my brain. Awesome live!

[@paolobeachpalms]

Great band. I can sense Stevie Wonder in them, especially in Necessary Evil and Multi-love

[@johnarcher2844]

bassist is so good

[@fr3tw0rm]

+John Archer they're all so good

[@edgardob.m.1747]

And underrated!

[@scientiffic]

really impressed with their live sound!

[@ArjanSangraa]

The effect on his voice in Multi-Love is fantastic!

[@hederaetype]

I love the keyboard player and his awesome chords.

[@RaphaelNussbaum]

KEXP soundengineers are awesome!

[@TheHoneyBadgerDUDE]

I think I might prefer their live sound over recorded. The singing is great, and everything else sounds so natural.

[@joonaskinnunen5518]

TheHoneyBadgerDUDE Having the same feels. Thinking the same about KGATLW live performance(completly different band, I know) The live performance brings the music... well, live.

[@ChanceCottle]

They sound so much better live

[@Jonejon250]

Agreed

[@aotwtelevision]

Both are great the records are mixed and produced flawlessly but the songs evolve and live their own lives in the performanfes

[@fairytotheworldi.a.m9823]

always for me

[@evandooley1656]

Just saw these guys last night! first time i'd ever heard of em, they're amazing

[@fry530]

Their sound has evolved so much. "So Good At Being In Trouble" sounds so much more laid back and jazzy than it did when I saw them in Boston in 2013. Love it!

[@matt0mattic]

why is it a competition UMO and Tame Impala? you can't declare an artist better than another, it's impossible. they're both badass bands

[@kirtianjuhf5127]

UMO got soul and balls. Tamimpala got shiny success. UMO's shows sound like inspired live music, Tamimpala'shows sound like money maker playback routine.

[@dawsongyllenhammer8457]

Maffew Maffew lol nah UMOs better

[@Psztyk236]

And in both „bands” it’s really only one guy responsible for composing and recording the music

[@SakuraWulf]

I don't find the two to be related. I can't listen to Tame Impala.

[@bernlin2000]

They're different sounding bands...people are weird lol.

[@zack3c]

Best version of So good at being in trouble out there.

[@GriimX]

Man, it seems like he has such great control of his voice.

[@brooklyntimothy]

Wow... a band that can play their own songs in 2016. That's something!

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Ruban, you are a bona fide musical genius! Love your song stylings, sound, the whole thing. Please keep the awesome sounds coming!

[@KC97220]

My neighbor keeps telling me about these guys, he's Ruban's uncle haha

[@apollo5343]

[@maitlando1645]

started with DHMIS and ended up here. I'm so glad I found you guys.

[@shannonshark7355]

Same now they are my favorite band.

[@Hunderworld]

how did u get from DHMIS TO THIS?

[@maitlando1645]

Hunderworld DHMIS people made the music video for 'Swim and Sleep' for these guys. Its awesome, there are several nods to the DHMIS series throughout the music video

[@chadwi4648]

The sweet spot difference from the art of the album to how every song could be slash guitars and so silk..... Bravo! Love it. Play my wedding and film it.

[@zachpeavy628]

bassist was soooooo in the pocket during "can't keep"

[@librarykils]

can't keep checking my phone is so damn tight live wow

[@colinm213]

Seen then play live last night and they were absolutely phenomenal. As good as the records are, their live sound right now blows the albums right out the water. I desperately hope the guy on keys, Quincy Mccrary, becomes a permanent member as he's utterly mindblowing. He gels so well and adds so much that listening to UMO without Quincy now feels like listening to the Beatles without George. If you like this band on record, you will love them live.

[@gchahn]

If I ever see them playing anywhere near me I'm there.

[@BillBuchananFtw]

why are so many people coming here to say "better than tame impala"? they're both amazing

Buenísimos. Hacía tiempo que quería ver cómo eran los componentes de la banda y saber cómo consiguen ese sonido tan intrigante y original.

[@shamancult404]

Thanks KEXP, you guys made my day!

[@davidwantsahug]

I'm seeing them in October! I was really excited to see them as a trio but I can see why the Keys are necessary!

[@imgonnakillyoo]

multi love is my absolute favorite. They did a freaking fantastic job!

[@IndieFolks]

AMAZING UMO!!!!

[@reibangchakma]

The singer, his wife and the girl who moved to portland were in love together. they lived together for a while. crazy love trio

[@alfiegaishauser4989]

17:15. I come back for these vocals right here😅😭 bloody hell. So unique and soul inspired.

[@jero6919]

[@EDDBUD]

Beautiful sounds guys. Sneak in a Bristol date when you come over to the UK. Will go down well over there.

[@TheNeoKalashnikovs]

man those tom drums at the start sound fantastic!! great tuning

[@TheGman858]

Better late than never just found out about these guys those chord progressions and melodies are very unique I really like this band

[@donzatana3650]

They are so in the pocket one of those where you love their studio albums but outperform themselves tenfold live

[@iromrochalimaneto]

[@mariocarreno95]

LMFAOOOO

[@ScreamingPeachesband]

holy fuck this is good. pleasantly surprised the new ones translate so well live without any overdubs!

[@pskelton1000]

I gotta say...I appreciate this band a lot more after hearing their live performance where you can actually hear the quality of the vocals and instruments. I'm not sure why this band feels the need to go for such a distorted, low-fi sound on their recordings. They really owe it to themselves to not brand themselves the way they do on their records. This guy actually has an incredible, soulful voice. Why the need to mask it on the records?

[@jacknick7582]

Patrick Skelton aesthetic is important dawg. all of those effects are textures are colors that go into the work of art that he was trying to make. you can't alter these things

[@captainbazookas]

They record with analog tape.

[@jackkaczmarczyk2709]

s t y l e

[@ruto_o2931]

I think without his soulful voice he couldn't make the unique voices on the records. If you listen back after checking out his live stuff you really appreciate it

[@officialJoCa]

I miss Julien Ehrlich, their old drummer . New one is good as well but the last guy just had a presence about him and a hip hop influenced drumming style that I loved. I remember seeing them in a little venue in Dallas a couple years ago when it was just the 3 of them and having a couple of drinks with Jake Portrait, the bassist, before and after the show. They were all coked out of their minds, haha. Memory is kinda hazy cause I was fucked up as well. Good times.

[@viliusandraitis1456]

That's super cool

[@ruto_o2931]

Awesome. I wish I was born earlier to see them from the start

[@jadefreis]

Amazing! Only bad that I just found it just today haha

damn i love this new set up!

[@ronenbo33]

nice drumming ! i like your sound guys

[@nostalgiascrapyard2383]

"Necessary Evil" is deadly.

[@arkantika3927]

UMO Best Album of 2015 Multi-Love!

[@FluffersTheFirst]

"one of his favorite bands working today" yet he had to look at a paper to tell which song is which, and on what album. Just find it kinda funny

[@InfinityDuster]

Gitai Vinshtok Some of my favorite albums ever, i have trouble remembering the name of all the songs.

[@monkeyxx]

Gitai Vinshtok not to mention he didn't ask how old he was, used the word "awesome," and generally it was an awkward presentation but whatchagonnado

[@zkoyot]

Gitai Vinshtok definitely. All presenters at KEXP are like this, that woman who wears a hat always is even worse - generic statements of worship and adoration, nothing of substence or remotely honest. Very well in contrast with the great quality of bands they showcase and quality of live music production.

[@OyeZuko]

This is so amazing!

[@stevenmcnamara1519]

Greta stuff, loved the little psychy segment form 3 minutes 50

[@robertabalos683]

This is one of those bands, hot damn.

[@gozenpatch]

[@zakkjohnson9325]

I liked "Necessary Evil" alright on the album, but this live version put it in my top 3 favorites of UMO.
