Watch Unknown Mortal Orchestra release new track ‘Nadja’
Lifted from their forthcoming new album ‘V’.
With their new album ‘V’ for release on 17th March via Jagjaguwar, Unknown Mortal Orchestra are sharing new track ‘Nadja’.
Created between California and Hawaii, Ruban Nielson says of the new record, “In Hawaii, everything shifted off of me and my music. Suddenly, I was spending more time figuring out what others need and what my role is within my family. I also learned that things I thought were true of myself are bigger than I thought. My way of making mischief - that’s not just me - that’s my whole Polynesian side. I thought I was walking away from music to focus on family, but the two ended up connecting.”
‘Nadja’ follows previous single ‘Layla’. Speaking about the creation of the videos for both ‘Layla’ and ‘Nadja’, director Vira-Lata shares, “We were in awe of the power of the songs’ simplicity; how its beauty rises without pretension, creating an honest and poetic testament that reaches into the heart. We wanted to match the poetic tenderness of the songs with a visually intimate storyline that felt extremely honest and showcased fleeting moments of a true friendship.”
