Biography:
Unknown Mortal Orchestra first dropped into the world in late 2010 as a bandcamp account carrying a single called ‘Ffunny Ffrends’.
‘Ffunny Ffrends’ was everything you imagined it might be – alien beatnik pop music that echoed 60s psychedelia and krautrock minimalism with just a hint of gentle weirdness that suggested its roots might equally lie in the verdant indie of the equally distant New Zealand scene.
Ruban Nielson is a New Zealand native who had transplanted to Portland, Oregon, USA with his band The Mint Chicks.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Notes: There's actually a Pro tab of this, but since it relies on an 8-string, I figured I'd give it a go.
The picking pattern described helps with the transitions between chords, since these always happen on the
base note. I've also mapped out the chords to keep the number of active strings constant while picking, I
think it really helps. Awesome song by UMO, enjoy!
