Secretly Frequencies – Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Today's guest is Ruban Nielson of the mighty Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The project was started in Auckland in the late noughties by Ruben, and grew over the following years, expanding to include friend Jake Portrait and brother Kody and a number of other incredible musicians along the way. UMO - as they are affectionately known - have released five albums, four with Jagjaguwar, of sprawling, psychedelic rock music. Now based in Portland, Oregon, Ruban chats with us about his early analog influences, songwriting processes, and more from UMO's storied history.   Links:  Secretly Frequencies: Unknown Mortal Orchestra Playlist Link Secretly Society Podcast Link Secretly Society Podcast Store Link Secretly Society General Information Link   Unknown Mortal Orchestra:  UMO Website Link UMO on Instagram UMO on X UMO on Facebook
