Lindstrøm and Todd Terje have come in at number 28 on Spin’s list of “The 40 Best Songs of 2013 So Far.”  Their track Lanzarote is described by Spin as “pure boingy-bass, Moroder-soundscape propulsion drenched in sheets of synth arpeggios, keyboard-pumping melodrama…”  You can give the track a listen and see Spin’s complete list here.

Oslo’s Maaemo restaurant has designed a brunch around Lindstrøm’s Smalhans record of last year. The six-course meal is scheduled to take place during the Øya festival happening this summer.  Lindstrøm plans to perform the six songs from his record alongside the presentation of each course.  Smalhans itself was inspired by food with track names translating to such things as “dried salted lamb meat”.  The event itself has been titled Maaelstrøm, meaning “The Meal”.  Tickets are 1500 Norwegian kroner, or 199€, and limited to 30 guests.

“One of my favorite things about Unknown Mortal Orchestra is how their music exists in this weird place between stoned funk, pastoral folk and off-the-wall psych. It finds its way into everything they do—which is generally writing sun-dappled songs that sound pretty but are lyrically really heavy. It’s a fascinating, often heartbreaking contrast. So hearing the band go completely bonkers, covering Lindstrom’s instrumental “Rà-àkõ-st” with all the aplomb of a bunch of kids that just discovered a bag of weed and a pile of guitars in their dad’s garage is immensely satisfying, like peeking in on the best jam session that never existed.”
