Check Out Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Ffunny Nnew Vvideo For "Ffunny Ffrends"

Did we stutter??

With a name like "Unknown Mortal Orchestra", you really can't expect too much from this New-Zealand-via-Portland lo-fi psych trio in the way of "shit that make sense". Take this new music video for "Ffunny Ffrends", for example (we're not even going to go into the song title…). We imagine the production pitch went a little something like this:

"Okay, so there's a girl--a hot girl--and she has this disco ball. And there's also a creepy guy with a metallic mask. And we'll, like, do weird stuff with the camera. Trust me, guys. It's gunna be really cool…"

Whether or not there's some kind of layered commentary on social injustices in developing second world nations or something that we're too dense to pick up on, we can't say for sure. Maybe you can take a look and enlighten us, because everyone knows that anonymous people on the internet are superior in intelligence.

Also, don't miss Unknown Mortal Orchestra as they pop around the US, then Europe, and finally, Australia! Dates and deets below.
