WATCH: Unknown Mortal Orchestra Proves That Puppets Have Problems In “Swim And Sleep (Like A Shark)”
By Staff on March 4, 2013
At this point, the 'unknown' portion of Unknown Mortal Orchestra's moniker is straight up ridiculous. This Portland psych rock three-piece emerged as one of our favorite acts at last year's Culture Collide, we had a blast getting to know them in FILTER 50 and their latest LP, II—released just last month—has already made itself at home in our hearts.
Today, it's time to watch the video for "Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)": a gorgeous tune all UMO fans have been humming since September. In case you've always been curious...yes, puppets have just as many problems as the rest of us. Peep the video below for quite another kind of peeping...
