Unknown Mortal Orchestra came to present the double album V, released in March this year. In this new work, which is the group’s fifth studio album, V evokes blue skies, seaside cocktail bars, hotel swimming pools and the darkness that lurks beneath perfect, immaculate surfaces.
“In Hawaii, everything moved away from me and my music,” Nielson said. “I suddenly spent more time understanding what others need and what my role is within my family. I also learned that things I thought were true of me are bigger than I thought. My way of getting into mischief – This isn’t just me – it’s my whole Polynesian side. I thought I was stepping away from music to focus on family, but the two ended up connecting.”
One of V’s main goals for Nielson was to create music and art that transcends notions of cultural influence and value, while also seeking to inject some excitement back into the process of music creation. It’s about having fun making music and art and, in doing so, regaining taste as a personal part of their identity, propelling the group to new creative heights.
These new heights take place on July 11th, on the Heineken Stage of the 16th edition of NOS Alive.
