Unknown Mortal Orchestra shared their music video for “Ur Life One Night,” a track off their excellent third studio album Multi-Love. The video is kaleidoscope of color and various Asian-inspired scenes. Director Manoj Leonel Jahson incorporated Mughai-era miniature paintings to create the effects.
“When we first spoke with UMO, the idea of creating something abstract yet fun, for their single ‘Ur Life, One Night’ sounded very exciting. I am deeply inspired by the quirky Indian magical-realism from our mythology and wanted to create something rooted but still visually appealing. The music lent a dream-like quality and the lyric pushed us to the motif of the Goddess being pursued, yet always being out of reach.”
Watch “Ur Life One Night” above and catch UMO on tour.
