Riff: Unknown Mortal Orchestra – “Multi-Love”

Feb 12, 2015

Multi-love got me on my knee/We were one, then become three/Woman, what have you done to me?/I’m half crazy

from Multi-Love lyrics by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

A polyamorous (or, given the track’s feel, robosexual) woman is “trashing [Nielson’s] heart” like a “hotel room,” which sounds like slightly unconventional time signatures and wandering chords on the verses, both unnecessarily so. Still, the choruses and outro intrigue and gratify; [LISTEN].
