Building on the lo-fi mystique of their debut, II finds Unknown Mortal Orchestra expanding into richer textures and deeper grooves. With Ruban Nielson’s fuzzed-out guitar tones and introspective songwriting, the album blends psychedelic haze with indie clarity—balancing vintage warmth and modern edge.

This edition is pressed on 180 gram clear white swirl vinyl and showcases standout tracks like “So Good at Being in Trouble,” “Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark),” and the sprawling “Monki.” A cult favorite that helped define the band’s sonic identity, II remains a cornerstone of 2010s psych-pop.
