Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi-Love

 

A bit more synthy (and shades of early Prince) than their first couple of albums but pretty good on first listen.

 

Looking forward to the trip to Brum in September to watch them!

Pretty disappointing. That's three piss-poor albums on the bounce from Neil, now. He seems to have completely forgotten how to write a decent song.

Seems like quantity over quality. He seems to release something every 12 months

Yep. And it's all heavy-handed eco-preaching. Nothing wrong with that, per se, but instead of crafting it into a powerful lyric and working out a good musical arrangement, it just sounds like he's recorded a bit of drunken haranguing and slapped it over some sloppy Nei Young-by-numbers random strumming.

In 1970 in response to the Kent State shootings he wrote "Ohio", in a rush of anger:

Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming

We're finally on our own

This summer I hear the drumming

Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it

Soldiers are cutting us down

Should have been done long ago

What if you knew her

And found her dead on the ground?

How can you run when you know?

And the music was was driving and powerful. By comparison, his current stuff is like the work of a ten year old.

 

If you don't like to rock Starbucks a coffee shop
Well you better change your station 'cause that ain't all that we got
Yeah, I want a cup of coffee but I don't want a GMO
I like to start my day off without helping Monsanto
 
Monnnnnn-sannnnnn-toooooooo
Let our farmers grow what they want to grow
 
From the fields of Nebraska to the banks of the Ohio
The farmers won't be free to grow what they want to grow
When corporate control takes over the American farm
With fascist politicians and chemical giants walking arm in arm

Featuring two of my favourite vocalists of all time - Mark Lanegan and Mike Patton.

 

They even get to sing on a track together :wub:

If Mark Lanegan is there, so am I! 

 

Gunna give this a go!

This Dave Gahan track is my favorite Soulsavers song.

I've even been and bought a Che Guevara type hat, a kind of big satchel thing and a tee shirt with Vintage Hi Fi written on it, just so people know exactly what they're dealing with....

 

I might get flip flops tomorrow.
