EDITORS’ NOTES
Like fellow time travelers (and occasional tourmates) Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra manage to update the mind-bending sounds of '70s psychedelia in a way that doesn’t feel like a retread. Following the direction set out on 2015’s Multi-Love, Sex & Food dives further into soul and R&B, providing spaced-out takes on Prince (“Hunnybee”), Stevie Wonder (“Ministry of Alienation”), even straight-up disco-pop (“Everyone Acts Crazy Nowadays”). As strong as the hooks are, it’s the band’s sound that remains most immediate—a fascinating mix of hi-fi and lo-fi, slick and homespun, with everything crackling in the mix so warmly you feel like you can touch it.

Ratings and Reviews
Not Amazing, but BETTER than I expected
First of all, the singles do not represent the album at all. Secondly- if you enjoyed II, Unknown Mortal Orchestra's second album, there's a good chance you'll like this more than Multi-Love. It feels like a relaxed middle ground between those two albums but not nearly as catchy as either- however that has been replaced with interesting sounds, mixing and chord progressions. I was expecting a gritty royal blood rip-off judging by American Guilt, and it's not that by any means. Well worth $9.99 and I'm looking forward to hearing these songs live in a few weeks
