This evening I’m off to see my new favourite band, Unknown Mortal Orchestra play the Electric Ballroom in Camden. I bought their current album II (that’s the Roman numeral for the number 2 apparently) in April and it’s rarely been far from my ear holes.  When people ask the question ‘What do they sound like?’ and expect me to fit them into some category or another, or pluck a sound alike band out of thin air to compare them to, it simply comes down to the fact that they sound bloody good. There’s no need to delve into influences and comparisons. To me their music is just a warm fuzz of soulful, psychedelic dreaminess. Ha, ha. What do you think of that!! Their first, self-titled album dropped through the letterbox today and I’m listening to it as I write this blog post - the track Jello and Juggernauts is currently playing and it sounds damn fine. I’ve never been to the Electric Ballroom before, so am looking forward to seeing what it is like and ticking it off my list of venues. Actually, apart from Brixton Academy earlier in the year, every gig I have seen in 2013 has been in a new venue – Madame JoJo’s, Union Chapel, XOYO. Anyway, I digress. Little Blu House is now oozing from the speakers and my anticipation is growing. Once the day is done, I’ll be off to Camden. Can’t wait…
