One-time Mint Chick Ruban Neilson’s late night home recording therapy project turned blog sensation, Unknown Mortal Orchestra has been one of the buzz bands of 2011. Ruban and his Portland OR cohorts Jake Portrait and Julien Ehrlich have spent the year touring UMO’s intoxicating blend of junkshop record collector pop, a sharp blend of Wu Tanged Beefheart blues that has had critics unanimous in their praise for what Pitchfork called “deliciously quirky pop” and NME called simply “genius” on the self-titled album released mid-2011. With Ruban’s guitar lines twisting around his troublegum vocals like vipers in a pool of purple smoke and Jake and Julian powering sinuous breakbeat grooves along below, UMO’s live shows are proving a revelation too.
