II is the sophomore album from Unknown Mortal Orchestra, the Portland-based project of Ruban Nielson, released on Jagjaguwar. Building on the lo-fi psychedelic grooves of their debut, the record blends warped indie rock, soulful rhythms and surreal lyrical snapshots born from life on the road and emotional turbulence. Tracks like “Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)” and “So Good At Being in Trouble” unfold hazy, hypnotic hooks over fractured beats, capturing a restless tension between introspection and sonic wanderlust that helped define UMO’s distinct voice in the 2010s indie underground.
