Unknown Mortal Orchestra

At the time of their performance at the Pitchfork Music Festival in July 2012, Unknown Mortal Orchestra had just released their self-titled debut album earlier that same year. The album received critical acclaim, highlighting their unique blend of lo-fi psych-rock and catchy melodies. This performance of 'Ffunny Friends' is a great snapshot of the band's emerging style and energy, showcasing their ability to capture a live audience. Interestingly, the band's sound, characterized by its experimental aspects, was influenced by a mix of home recording techniques and live spontaneity. This pivotal moment helped solidify their reputation within the indie music scene, and the festival laid the groundwork for their future successes.
