track: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - I'll Come Back 4 U
Adult Swim's 3rd annual Single Series is back, and the lead-off track is from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The dudes over at [as] have the best taste. They'll be coming with 12 tracks over the next 12 weeks. Check it, download it.

video: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Nerve Damage
Some fuzzy occult shit happens to a guy in the streets of Portland. Trippy mane! I'm surprised that UMO is still pumping out videos nearly a year after the album was released; their Twitter feed makes it seem like the follow-up album isn't too far off. Bandleader Ruban seems to think it's pretty good....and evil.

video: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Strangers are Strange
Hey look it's another one of those videos where gross hipsters play dress-up. They're like real people!

video: Black Bananas - TV Trouble
I don't normally post NSFW tags because you should be working and not looking at videos on the internet, but this one is kind of gross. I didn't want to listen to a band called Black Bananas, but this album is actually kinda rad. (It's called Rad Times Xpress IV, so I guess I should have suspected that...) I'm not sure how to describe this album yet, though I guess you could call it psych rock, and I'd draw comparisons to Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tame Impala, Dungen, Ariel Pink, and a healthy dose of Ween.

video: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Thought Ballune
A dude meets some freaks, gets drugged, and freaks out with the freaks all freaking around him. Basically it's the Always Sunny episode where Charlie and Frank take acid with the McPoyle's. You've heard this UMO record already, right? It was one of my favorites last year.

Upcoming Shows
Check out some songs from these upcoming shows in Portland. Then maybe buy a ticket. They all cost less than $15, so why not?Warpaint // A killer female quartet that makes gorgeous psychedelic rock. They're even better live than they are on record. I was transfixed at their show at the Holocene a few months ago, and I can't wait to see them again. Don't miss it.
Warpaint - Billie Holiday
Destroyer // One of many bands of the prolific Dan Bejar (see also: The New Pornographers, Swan Lake). Their 9th album, Kaputt, is one of 2011's best releases so far. This show should be a good one -- Kurt Vile's band, The War on Drugs, is opening. I listen to Kurt Vile's solo project a lot more than The War on Drugs (Kurt Vile's 'Smoke Rings for My Halo' is another early AOTY contender), but I can't see them disappointing.
Destroyer - Chinatown
Toro y Moi // On Toro y Moi's second record, they shed the chillwave production and do disco instead. See the MJ-esque "New Beat" for proof. Another excellent 2011 release.
Toro y Moi - New Beat
SALEM // Alright, to be honest, this show might be straight up awful. No, not might be, it's going to be. But I want to be their to see the shitshow. Check out this infamous video from SXSW, where SALEM let everyone know that their 'Yes I Smoke Crack' EP wasn't just a clever title. Damn that's embarrassing.
SALEM - King Night
(To be fair, their sound was messed up and it doesn't work without the effects. At all. 'King Night' was actually a pretty good album.)
Unknown Mortal Orchestra // Next to nothing is known about them, except that they're from Portland, they made their live debut just a few days ago, and this song is pretty damn good. The rest of their EP sounds like early Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, and you can't go wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. They're opening for Starfucker, and the show's only $5. I wouldn't miss it.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Ffunny Ffriends
Check the right bar for more info on these shows. Go the venue's homepage to look up prices and buy tickets. If you're short on cash, it's cheaper to buy from the venue's box office or Jackpot Records.
