Stream: Unknown Mortal Orchestra,”Swim and Sleep (Like A Shark)”

September 18, 2012


Newly signed to Jagjaguwar and set to tour with Grizzly Bear over the next few months, Unknown Mortal Orchestra is understandably in a celebratory mood. Here, the band gives us a first taste of what we have to look forward to on their forthcoming full-length (slated for early 2013). "Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)" sharpens their signature blown-out psych into a delicate and wistful rollick with crystalline guitar and lead singer Ruban Nielson's voice sounding equal parts honey and grit. The band will be selling the 7-inch version exclusively on tour in September. Check it out along with upcoming tour dates below.
