New Zealand born, Portland based songwriter and guitarist Ruban Nielsen, better known as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, has just signed to the wonderful Jagjaguwar record label (Bon Iver, Dinosaur Jr., Okkervil River) and announced an upcoming tour with Grizzly Bear. To celebrate, they’ve given us a first taste of their new album (scheduled for 2013) in the form of the psych-tinged “Swim And Sleep (Like A Shark)”. Let the gentle melodies and shimmering guitar wash over you as you peruse the band’s tour dates below.
