IC-02 Bogotá / Unknown Mortal Orchestra

This is the "IC-02 Bogotá" (2025) LP by Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

While the band Unknown Mortal Orchestra is widely known for their vocal-driven work, they also enjoy creating purely instrumental music. They recently started an instrumental series entitled "IC," where they create vocal-less music through improvisation and collaboration during residencies in selected cities.

Recently, the band spent time in Colombia recording sessions to celebrate the addition of new keyboardist Christian Lee. The result is "IC-02 Bogotá," a musical document of their time in this inspiring city that might just become the perfect background music for your next weird party or late-night drive.

The instrumental tracks that are quietly tucked into vocal band albums are an irresistible contrast, and UMO has released the second installment of their IC series, packed full of instrumentals (Ammel).
