-------------------------------
In three albums, we’ve been taken through three decades of music’s past, through dozens of subgenres and strange sounds thanks to Ruban Nielson, the band’s creator.
When we listen to Unknown Mortal Orchestra's music, or any music for that matter, we associate our own meanings with a track. Ruban doesn’t want you to think his music is about his life, he’s just trying to improve your day with music.
“If I made someone’s life easier with the album, that’s the closest reason that exists for making art that I’ve been able to find.”
But the lyrics and moods of these tracks are entirely dependent on the headspace of Ruban. He invites new -- and sometimes strange, experiences into his life, hoping to capture those feelings in his music. Whether that’s becoming a father, indulging in rampant drug use or inviting a second partner into his marriage. Ruban is willing to put himself in some emotionally terrifying situations for the sake of his art.
This video essay uncovers the themes behind psychedelic-pop outfit, Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The life experiences of Ruban Nielson, the band's creator is responsible. Their debut record was very mellow as Ruban Nielson had just started a family. His sophomore was recorded in a basement after returning home from a drug-fueled tour. He then invited a second partner into his marriage for this third. Here's what Ruban has to say about his latest record, Sex + Food.

Bruh I have been overthinking music for 5 years, cuz everytime I begin something, I wanna be good at it and that pressure ruins the fun and it ends up being a mess. Then I learnt in interviews how much shit music artists write before they make good stuff and that's how they end up with piles of demos. And also accepted that even if all the music I ever will make will be shit, made me feel free and started playing freely and ironically is only time I'm getting somewhere, having fun and by fucking around

It’s now about how long you’ve been playing, but how you spent that time. If you are going hard every single day that you can, you’re going to see growth that reflect it. If you’re playing for some minor entertainment, that will also reflect in your growth. If you want it bad, go as hard as you can and you will get it.

It took me a little to understand it. Knowing its context helped, and I think it has my favourite opening line for an album ever: "Multi-Love, checked into my heart and trashed it like a hotel room."

Very, very, very underrated band. I will never forget discovering UMO and their debut album in the midst of my depressed, angsty teen days from sifting through random albums based on their covers on Spotify. That album cover really intrigued me, and I remember “Ffunny Ffriends” instantly pulling me in, along with every other song piquing my interest. Such great music...

II will always be my favorite album. From the Sun my favorite track. I remember hearing it for the first time. I had fallen into a bad depression, had shut out a lot of people and was hardly sleeping and not functioning. My friend knew I liked the Mint Chicks and recommended UMO's latest album (II at the time) . I heard this song and it was someone describing everything I was going through in the most beautiful way. I was addicted to that song for months. I've never had an experience like that with music, and I don't think I will again.

I got into UMO with Multi Love after a 2 year saga of a relationship included a 7 month polyamorous relationship with a secretive cocaine Addict (he was long distance, so it was easy to hide from us). Afterwards the other guy fell into their toxic habits and after another 7 months I finally left. It was the hardest thing I have ever had went through. I lost my friends, family, and had to build those relationships again. And UMO’s multi love helped get me through sad, ptsd ridden nights. No other music hit those feelings. It helped so damn much. Now 8 months later and about to head to college in the fall. Thank you middle 8 for talking about one of the most important bands of my life

The story of Multi-Love is amazing and gave me goosebumps. This song to me was always about loving a partner so much that you you embrace and encourage their love for others rather than see it as a threat. To find out that the artist wrote this song from a personal experience exploring and supporting that very concept in his own life elevates this song exponentially! (Thanks for doing the research on that, it has so much more impact and meaning now)

Thanks for sharing so much information about Ruben and his life and art. I think he’s amazing, UMO is amazing. It’s interesting to know how his life has influenced his music. Still, I don’t over analyze what his lyrics are about. It’s different for everyone.

Hey man I would love to see you do an essay on Spotify and other streaming giants and how they’ve changed/worsened the music business I feel like they need exposing. Also another damn good video! Your videos are a huge inspiration to an aspiring musician like me keep it up!
