Unknown Mortal Orchestra releases their new EP, CURSE, which is out now via Jagjaguwar. The band recently announced the EP when sharing its lead single and music video "BOYS WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WOLVES." CURSE reflects these cursed times we find ourselves in. Taking inspiration from Italian horror films of the 1970s and 1980s, the six songs on the release are as cathartic a listen as the band has ever recorded. Featuring both abrasive riffs reminiscent of Black Sabbath on “BOYS WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WOLVES” as well as the laid back, intricate guitar playing UMO is maybe most famous for on “DEATH COMES FROM THE SKY,” the CURSE EP is the perfect soundtrack to your next confrontation with the void.

The EP arrives in conjunction with the announcement of a new North American tour that will see the band bring its acclaimed live show to select cities across the continent this Fall.

Tickets are on sale this Friday at 10AM local time in each market at unknownmortalorchestra.com.
