Unknown Mortal Orchestra have just signed with  Jagjaguwar, and plan to release a new album with them early next year. To celebrate, the band have released “Swim and Sleep (Like A Shark)”, a new song that will appear on the album.
It’s a graceful affair where the band hit their stride, sounding like they are floating through a lovely dream that has no right to end. The band still keeps their psych-minded elements, but slow things down to a chill-to-the-bone pace. I am having a great time listening to this one.
