During the time when Unknown Mortal Orchestra were laying down their majorly dense psych-pop entry, Sex & Food, the band quietly collected material that would become their second LP of 2018. Recorded in Hanoi, Vietnam with several local musicians and also the father of frontman Ruban Nielson, UMO use traditional Vietnamese instruments and over-amplified guitars to synchronize the band’s inimitable anti-gravity pop and spectral jazz-funk on the seven-suite IC-01 Hanoi.
