Unknown Mortal Orchestra release new album Sex & Food, share video for 'Everyone Acts Crazy Nowadays'

Today, Unknown Mortal Orchestra releases their fourth album, Sex & Food (Jagjaguwar). A delightfully shapeshifting album, Sex & Food filters real-deal serious themes such as "What are we consuming? How is it affecting us, and why does everything feel so bad and weird sometimes?” through a vibrant sonic lens that spans battered drum-machine funk, doomy and thrashing rock, and pink-hued psychedelic disco. Recorded in a variety of locales from Seoul and Hanoi to Reykjavik, Mexico City, and Auckland, Sex & Food is a practical musical travelogue, traversing the world as well as a wide spectrum of human experience as we grapple with new realities.

Today, the band shares its video for the dance floor-ready "Everyone Acts Crazy Nowadays," illustrated and animated by artist Greg Sharp. Watch it above.

Finally, join UMO's Ruban Nielson at the /r/indieheads subreddit for an AMA at 6am NZST, where he answers all your questions about life, sex, food, social media addiction, and whatever else fans choose to ask (and he decides to answer).
