Is Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s ‘Multi-Love’ the song of the summer?

Smooth, lilting like a 1970s Laurel Canyon sunrise; grooving with a Michael Jackson backbeat; soulful like a naked sprint on a beach. Unknown Mortal Orchestra is still — in the mainstream —  yet unknown, but this emotional plea of polyamoury feels yet familiar, like it should already be crosstitched on a pillow and given to your quirky lover.

Give your falsetto a try. Open the screen door tonight and just see what happens.

“Multi-Love” is on UMO's new album of the same name, out at the end of last month.
