Unknown Mortal Orchestra- Self-Titled

Unknown Mortal Orchestra's debut full-length surprised me in some places, but underwhelmed in others. I love how effortlessly these guys pull together a fun and bouncy salute to the world of 60s rock and pop. It sounds as fresh as it does retro. Where this album really ended up losing me, though, was in the song structures, which repeat to the point where a lot of these songs sorta lose their flavor.

The more I hear from this Portland band, the more they shape up to be a fun, little pop trio.

Thanks to yourstru.ly, here's a video of Unknown Mortal Orchestra pumping out a live version of their song "How Can U Luv Me." Look for the band's self-titled LP, which is out now on Fat Possum.
