Unknown Mortal Orchestra: Can't Keep Checking My Phone

Ruban Nielson de Unknown Mortal Orchestra retrata los conflictos de conectividad en la realidad virtual y la obsesión por los dispositivos tecnológicos como sustituto de las relaciones humanas, en particular de las románticas, en el lustroso burner dance "Can't Keep Checking My Phone".

Las interacciones humanas dan contexto a "Multi-love", el nuevo álbum de Unknown Mortal Orchestra; una impresión inspirada en el reciente crush del trío por el sonido de los sintetizadores y las acrobacias atemporales del rock psicodélico. 

-"Cant Keep Checking My Phone” is about missing somebody and that point where you refuse to accept online “connectivity” as a substitute for being with someone IRL. When someone you love turns into text and ideas delivered through a device, at some point they’re competing with real things like the aurora borealis, which is another thing that only really makes sense in the flesh. I also read somewhere that the universe might be holographic, and in that case maybe the distance between us is just an illusion. So do you fall in love with the idea of someone? Or the chemicals they give off in person? Either way, I’ve got to get off my phone.- UMO
