New Zealand indies UNKNOW MORTAL ORCESTRA
have their Christmas Holidays moment for some years

Who: The project of New Zealand
native Ruban Nielson
Active since 2010 / 5 studio albums, so far
New single: THAT LIFE
Nielson about the new track: “When I was writing this song, ‘That Life’, I was
imaging the same kind of Where’s Waldo (or Where’s Wally as we call it in New
Zealand, Australia and the UK) of contrasting scenes and multiple characters all
engaged in that same perverse mixture of luxury, reverie, damnation, in the
landscape of America. Somewhere on holiday under a vengeful sun.”
That Life is a funky pop groove that
will trigger some smooth body action…

Band: UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA
Who: Famous pop rockers from New Zealand
Active since 2010 / 5 studio albums, so far
New single: WEEKEND RUN
Maestro Ruban Nielson: “At the end of the day I don’t
take for granted that I have the perfect job. I truly work
to make music that will set someone’s day right and
I think that shines through on ‘Weekend Run.’”
Weekend Run is vintage UMO. Sounds like, eh, weekend
music. Laid-back, dreamy and trippy with matching vocals
bringing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to mind, here and
there.
Have a listen…
