V is the definitive new record from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. With his sharpest-ever ear for “making it UMO”, Ruban Nielson evokes blue skies, beachside cocktail bars and hotel pools without ever turning a blind eye to the darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces.

The first double album in the UMO discography, V makes a strong case for itself as Ruban’s sunbleached masterpiece; it’s a breakthrough work from a mid-career artist in full control of his creative powers. The record is an exquisite collection of songs that evokes the 70s rock and 80s pop of frontman Ruban Nielson’s childhood, while exploring love, loss and his Hawaiian heritage. It's about having fun while making music and art that transcends clout and currency and propels UMO to breathtaking new creative heights.

Last in Australia in 2018 playing sold out national dates, UMO have since toured the world, recently recorded a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR, and will land down under off the back of sold out shows in the US, Europe and South America. Fronted by visionary Nielson, the band is a force to be reckoned with on stage, their live performance delivering something otherworldly and transcendent.
