Portland based rock outfit and brainchild of the multitalented Ruben Nielson Unknown Mortal Orchestra has released their first official single since Sex & Food in 2018. The commercial success of Unknown Mortal Orchestra has skyrocketed since the release of Sex & Food, leaving more and more fans yearning for new music.
The rollout to this single was very creative, as each day of the week Ruben posted Instagram skits (which later made up the music video) until the inevitable weekend, which is when the track was released.
Weekend Run maintains the same level of lo-fi psychedelic and alternative R&B that UMO is known for. Ruben is quoted saying “I truly work to make music that will set someone’s day right and I think that shines through on ‘Weekend Run.’”
