Depois de provarmos a versão space-disco do norueguês Lindstrøm para " Swim & Sleep (Like a Shark) ", retirado do álbum II dos Unknown Mortal Orchestra , chega a vez do trio psicadelista retribuir o favor com uma cover de “Rà-àkõ-st”, do álbum Smalhans do escandinavo , impregnada numa boa dose de guitarras alucinogénicas que nos envolvem como fumos xamânicos. Relembrem também com a versão de Lindstrøm: Pedro Lima
Depois de confirmados os The 2 Bears ontem, a organização do festival confirmou os Hot Chip e os Unknown Mortal Orchestra . Vão atuar no dia 15 e 14 de agosto , respetivamente. Os Hot Chip vão regressar a Portugal depois da passagem pelo Super Bock Super Rock do ano passado. Um dos membros da banda é também um dos dois ursos, confirmados ontem. Já os Unknown Mortal Orchestra estreiam-se por estes lados, para nos apresentarem o álbum II , lançado este ano. [...]

![[Listen] Unknown Mortal Orchestra: "Rà-àkõ-st" (Lindstrøm cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4914812_lg.jpg)
El día de hoy no me estoy sintiendo del todo bien, así que lo más probable es que ande un poco ausente por estos terrenos, a menos de que vayan emergiendo cosas padres en la red en el ámbito musical, como el caso de este curioso cover que los chicos de Unknown Mortal Orchestra le hicieron a Lindstrøm . " Rà-àkõ-st " es una canción que en lo personal nunca me llegué a imaginar que estaría siendo tomada por una banda como Unknown Mortal Orchestra para pasar de ser un himno de la pista de [...]
Unknown Mortal Orchestra have already impressed us all with this year's II LP – but here they are, completely stepping out of their usual confines, with their cover of Lindstrøm 's 'Rà-àkõ-st'. Whilst paying their respects to the typically funky vibes associated with the Norwegian producer, Unknown Mortal Orchestra have put their own crazy touches onto this cover with hazy outbursts of guitar. It won't make sense in your head, but this cover amazes from start to finish. Listen to Lindstrøm's remix of 'Swim & Sleep (Like A [...]
Even more shows in support of II . The post Unknown Mortal Orchestra announce fall tour dates appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .
Escucha: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "Rà-àkõ-st" (Lindstrøm Cover) Después de su grandioso segundo disco de estudio, II , se puede esperar cualquier cosa de Unknown Mortal Orchestra . Y aquí el ejemplo: La banda psych-rock ha realizado un cover de " Rà-àkõ-st ", original de Lindstrøm . Recuerdan los hipnóticos beats bailables del productor noruego, pues ahora han sido sustituidos por rasgueos de guitarra crudos y por momentos muy melódicos. Escucha el cover a continuación.

One of my favorite things about Unknown Mortal Orchestra is how their music exists in this weird place between stoned funk, pastoral folk and off-the-wall psych. It finds its way into everything they do—which is ... read more
We're already big fans of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and especially their album from earlier this year II , but we may now like them even more for their ability to surprise us. Covers are one thing, but covering an electronic dance music pioneer like Lindstrøm as a guitar band, and making it sound wholly your own is quite special indeed. UMO's take on "Rà-àkõ-st" manages to retain the dance grooves of the original while also employing the same hazy warped rock aesthetic of their own music. Check out the song below. [...]
"“Rà-àkõ-st” could be the soundtrack to a new, more psychedelic Endless Summer . It's actually a Londstrøm song , and Unknown Mortal Orchestra have covered it. This takes things in the opposite direction of the first time these names have come together, when the Norwegian producer remixed "Swim And Sleep (Like A Shark)." Both results have been excellent, check it out below. Read more articles like " Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Rà-àkõ-st " on PMA - Pretty Much Amazing . Tags: [...]
Nowadays, cover songs are so plentiful whole websites are dedicated to their coverage and the AV Club is four or five installments deep into their Undercover series . Still, here's something some of those experts of the homage probably never saw coming: Unknown Mortal Orchestra covering Lindstrøm' s 2012 single "Rà-àkõ-st" . No, the song hasn't started; that's just the sound of your mind being blown. For their part, the trio have crafted a pretty faithful, though slightly less sophisticated reworking, maintaining the track's mix of funk undertones, quasi-ambient experimentalism, and [...]
Unknown Mortal Orchestra have just wrapped up a long US tour and it looks like they're ready to hit the road again! They mapped out a new North American tour which will be bringing them back to Los Angeles for a headlining show. The band will be back in town on Friday, September 27th to take the stage of the Troubadour . You can check out the full tour schedule after the jump below. Tickets for Unknown Mortal Orchestra at the Trouabdour will go on sale starting on Thursday, April 25th at [...]
It shouldn't be expected that Unknown Mortal Orchestra would be dolling out new tunes so quickly after the release of their excellent sophomore LP II and a lengthy tour with Foxygen and Wampire in support of it, but here we are. A cover may not necessarily count as new work, but when a rock band takes on an electronic song, like Lindstrøm's "Rà-àkõ-st"," it requires a more finesse than a standard repurposing. Here, UMO take the steely disco of the original and smooth it out in gurgling psych jam. Warm where Lindstrøm's is reserved, crunchy where his is [...]
Después de que el productor noruego Lindstrøm hiciera un remix de "Swim & Sleep", los muchachos de Unknown Mortal Orchestra decidieron devolverle el favor y hacerle un cover a "Rà-àkõ-st" agregándole su toque psicodélico. Enjoy. ♩ Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Rà-àkõ-st (Lindstrøm Cover)

A dupla americana Wampire começou a fazer barulho na cena independente de Portland, mesma cidade natal do STRFKR (para quem eles já abriram alguns shows), com seu balanço inegável e seu pop psicodélico. O debut Curiosity será lançado oficialmente em maio pelo selo Polyvynil , e além de ter sido produzido pelo Jacob Portrait, do Unknown Mortal Orchestra , inclui a ótima faixa “The Hearse”, que já foi uma amostra poderosa do noise-pop polido do duo. Mas é o mais recente single do álbum, “Spirit Forest”, que chamou nossa atenção, chegando [...]
Who are you and where are you from? I'm Ruban Nielson (above, centre) from Unknown Mortal Orchestra . Not sure where I'm from. My mum is Hawaiian, my Dad is a Kiwi. Raised in New Zealand and I live in Portland, Oregon in the US. Who are your favourite artists from your hometown? I love a band called Fetus Productions . They were released on Flying Nun Records in the 802s. They're from Auckland, New Zealand. I live in Portland, Oregon and one of my [...]
If there's the one openly recognised world wide web-wide idiom that I despise with my every ounce, then it's that of a song dropping . From whence are the fuckers descending? The sky? Or the fourteenth floor of EMI? There is no logical answer to this illogically irate questioning, though in the case of Portland, Oregon pairing Gauntlet Hair it seems just about acceptable to employ said verb, if only to play into some substandard bon mot . Craig Nice and Andy Rauworth just dropped the new Gauntlet Hair, and by 'eck can its intense reverberations be heard [...]
Jugar al misterio. Esa es una de las cosas que obsesionan a Ruban Nielson, cantante, guitarrista y compositor de Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Formados tras la disolución de The Mint Chicks, Nielson lanzó en 2010 el track Ffunny ffrends en su perfil de Bandcamp, sin ningún tipo de información. Finalmente dada la popularidad que tuvo en Internet, “avisó” que el nuevo trayecto tenía nombre: Unknown Mortal Orchestra. El primer disco homónimo (2011, Fat Possum Records) de este trío neozelandés/estadounidense establecido en Portland, fue muy bien recibido y le abrió las puertas al mundillo indie. Y es así [...]
