Unknown Mortal Orchestra

In March 2013, Unknown Mortal Orchestra showcased their eclectic style during a live set at KEXP, performing their track "From The Sun." This performance occurred right after the release of their self-titled debut album, which had hit the streets just a year earlier, in 2012. Their unique blend of lo-fi psychedelia was gaining traction, and this recording highlighted their infectious energy and musical artistry. Fun fact: the band was formed by Ruban Nielson, who initially started recording tracks in his home studio in Portland, Oregon. When they played at Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop in Austin, it was a part of the South by Southwest festival buzz, giving them a vibrant backdrop and a chance to engage with excited fans. The recording captures a moment of their rising popularity, where their signature sound began captivating a broader audience.
