Multi-Love

[1] Frontman and primary contributor Ruban Nielson produced, mixed, and engineered the entirety of Multi-Love.

The title is a reference to the polyamorous relationship which Ruban Nielson had with his wife and a younger woman for a year.

[2] Considered the band's global breakthrough, Multi-Love made it onto lists by The Guardian, NME and Consequence of Sound for the best albums of 2015.

[3] Alongside Tame Impala's Currents, it was sometimes labelled one of two major critically acclaimed works of psychedelic music in 2015.

Nielson recalls an instant infatuation with the woman, and reciprocated affection on her part; the pair introduced each other at the club and decided to keep in touch.

Later that year, the woman came to see UMO perform in Melbourne, and the pair continued to communicate via letter.

Nielson took concern after his wife had taken a romantic interest in a woman he liked first, saying in an interview with Pitchfork; “They had turned into love letters...[Jenny] told me that I could read them if I wanted to, but I didn’t and I still don’t.

I just thought, ‘Oh, what have I done?’” Nielson's wife decided that the three should explore a polyamorous relationship together, and so the young woman moved in with them and their children in Portland.

This was a major theme across the work, and one critics noted and praised for Nielson's transformation of what took place that year into music form, as well as sending positive messages regarding sexual experimentation.

Touring continued in Europe through that November, before heading to Australia and New Zealand for a string of headline shows in December.

"Can't Keep Checking My Phone" also appears in the association football video game FIFA 16.
