Embrace Unknown Mortal Orchestra's New Track "First World Problem"

Thank you for the funk. This is both horn-y and kinda horny, if you catch our drift.

Thank you for the funk Unknown Mortal Orchestra. They've just dropped new song "First World Problem" and it has a very Prince-ly vibe. Those nimble licks, that booty-popping bass, it's a shimmy-shake of a song and you can listen to it right now, below. The band's third album Multi-Love—an album largely inspired by a three way love affair that occured between the singer, his wife, and a lady in Japans—is out on May 26 via Jagjaguwar.
