Released in February 2013, UMO's second studio album "II" is an incredible blend of folk psychedelic rock and lo-fi. All wrapped together in one 40 minute, 10 track blessing. I can't really remember when I first heard this album (let alone UMO). It was either a stumble upon after watching "Don't hug me i'm scared" when i was younger. Afterwards being directed to the "Swim and Sleep" music video directed by Becky and Joe. It could have also been part of a Facebook post i remember seeing ages ago, talking about patrician albums. Which included the likes of Joanna Newsom and King Gizz's paper mâché dream balloon. Regardless, this album means a whole lot to me. It was one of the albums i could rely on to comfort me to the brink of sleep on long bus rides home from school. Morning's when i'd be staying somewhere down south in Western Australia especially. It's just such a magical album that knows when it wants to be and how. A misfit after a night out. Sun peering into your eyes as the lights of dawn kiss your face. ahhh so pretty, try it really. This album deserves the golden hour treatment.

Oh also! you would have noticed the really great, revealing cover that this album has. Turns out it's a piece taken by the now passed, Stewart Farrar of his wife Janet. Who happened to be practicing Wicca's, with the album photo being apart of one of Janet's books named "The Witches Bible". A lot of other really pretty photos can be found throughout so i highly recommend.

Favorite track - One at a Time
