Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s breakthrough second album, II, is reissued as an expanded double-LP featuring the Blue EP and two B-sides. Written during a gruelling tour, II captures Ruban Nielson’s raw emotions—loneliness, love, and despair—blended with psychotropic grooves and live-recorded instrumentation. Celebrated for its bold, immersive sound and surreal lyrics, II solidified UMO’s reputation as a fearless, innovative band. This 10th anniversary edition brings together the complete II era, showcasing Nielson’s unique vision and the band at their peak.
