Unknown Mortal Orchestra's new song is called Boys With The Characteristics Of Wolves. It features on a 6-track EP called Curse, arriving in August.
In what seems to increasingly be the default, there's an AI-generated video, credited to Ruban Nielson (aka UMO), a melange of R-rated schlock horror cinema obscurities where the actors mouths have been manipulated to mime Ruben's singing.
To be honest, my mild curiosity about the video at the start turned to mild boredom towards the end and I'm already struggling to recall anything memorable about the visuals.
The audio, on the other hand, whilst not pushing the envelope, is more satisfying..
I'm slightly disappointed that the introductory 80 seconds or so of scratchy, squally sounds with a distorted voice (presumably Ruban's) intoning, "My eyes! My eyes!" seems to be reserved for the video version only.
Boys With The Characteristics Of Wolves: nice song, shame about the video.
