The Portland via New Zealand-based band Unknown Mortal Orchestra likely won't remain unknown for very long. Their brand of back beat, 70s psych rock has SUMMER written all over it. We can pretty much imagine "How Can U Luv Me" being the background music to some epic summertime city walkabouts involving multiple happenstance meals and beer garden bro downs. Their debut LP is out on Fat Possum June 21st.
