MULTI-LOVE WORLD TOUR CONTINUES

"She’s got it all and yet // She’s betting all she has on a first world problem

You’ve got to understand // That I could be your man or a first world problem"

"Thank you for the funk Unknown Mortal Orchestra. They’ve just dropped new song ‘First World Problem’ and it has a very Prince-ly vibe. Those nimble licks, that booty-popping bass, it’s a shimmy-shake of a song" – Noisey

Yesterday, Unknown Mortal Orchestra shared a new song called "First World Problem," which was premiered in the coveted "Hottest Records" slot on Annie Mac’s show on BBC Radio 1. 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. 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. Don’t miss The Best Band in the World™ as they continue their dominant run.
