Unknown Mortal Orchestra have dropped a new single.
Following Weekend Run, That Life is a woozy guitar-led track that cranks up the soul elements. It comes with a Lydia Fine and Tony Blahd-directed video starring a blue dancing puppet. Discussing the creative motivation, mastermind Ruban Nielson said:
"I saw this painting by Hieronymus Bosch called The Garden of Earthly Delights and in the painting there was a mixture of crazy stuff going on, representing heaven, earth, and hell. When I was writing this song, That Life, I was imaging the same kind of Where's Waldo (or Where's Wally as we call it in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK) of contrasting scenes and multiple characters all engaged in that same perverse mixture of luxury, reverie, damnation, in the landscape of America. Somewhere on holiday under a vengeful sun."
It's the New Zealand band's second single since their 2018 album, 'Sex & Food'.
