Description

Sex & Food (stylised as sex + food) is the fourth studio album by New Zealand band Unknown Mortal Orchestra, released on 6 April 2018 through Jagjaguwar. According to leader of UMO Ruban Nielson, the album features a more expansive and eclectic sound than previous records, inspired by the international locations where it was recorded, including Mexico City, Seoul, Hanoi and Reykjavík, as well as Nielson’s native Auckland and home Portland.Dan Kok from popmatters.com spoke highly of the album, saying “Sex & Food takes great inspiration from the heavily effected sounds of the ’60s and ’70s. The album glitters with Hendrix-esque guitar sounds; warbly chords and wailing crescendos. Nielson’s melodies are fuzzy and ethereal forcing the ear to bend to try and comprehend his lyrics. There are a few hints here and there of the old Unknown Mortal Orchestra with its straight ahead grooves and sharp, multi-layered guitar melodies. But more often than not the sound is a cacophony of effects pedals and mumbling vocal delivery used to great effect. The depth of the sound helps to enhance the cleaner, crisper moments and sheds light on the major ideas of the album.”
