Unknown Mortal Orchestra share new single; First World Problem

26 May 2016 - 0 Comments

Today, Unknown Mortal Orchestra shared a new song called First World Problem, which was premiered on Annie Mac's show on BBC Radio 1 moments ago. The song was recorded in March while the band was on break from touring and is the first new original song to be shared by UMO since the release of the critically acclaimed Multi-Love.
 
"I think First World Problem is about modern love in a crumbling empire," explains Ruban Nielson. "The feeling that you're trying to build your life and get what you need while a decadent world falls apart around you."

Also, UMO was recently featured on the massive Day of the Dead compilation of Grateful Dead covers, a charity compilation benefiting the Red Hot Organization on 4AD/Rhythmethod. They delivered one of the best (and certainly most danceable) tracks, their rendition of Shakedown Street. They'll be performing this cover on Conan on June 7th!

Finally, the band is touring relentlessly, selling out the majority of their shows. If you've escaped to the northern hemisphere for their summer - don't miss "The Best Band in the World™ as they continue their dominant run.
