Unknown Mortal Orchestra announce new album 'IC-01 Hanoi' set for October release
It's barely been five months since New Zealand's psychedelic rock group Unknown Mortal Orchestra dropped their latest album 'Sex & Food.' But surprise! The electrifying act has just announced a new album set to drop this October.
Titled 'IC-01 Hanoi', UMO's latest offering is going to be a series of instrumental sessions born out of the recording process for the band’s previous album. The title is a reference to where they recorded the previous album, as the band hunkered down at Pha Sa Studios in Hanoi, Vietnam.
As Pitchfork reports, band members Ruban Nielson and Jacob Portrait, along with Ruban’s brother Kody Nielson, threw together some impromptu sessions with Nielson patriarch Chris and local musician Minh Nguyen, resulting in the seven tracks that comprise the album.
