On “That Life,” Unknown Mortal Orchestra explores a life of luxury and delight. The track has that same sound that we all love from UMO, while creating a care-free vibe to relate to its care-free lyrics.
Ruban wrote this about the song:
"I saw this painting by Hieronymus Bosch called The Garden of Earthly Delights and in the painting there was a mixture of crazy stuff going on, representing heaven, earth, and hell. When I was writing this song, “That Life,” I was imaging the same kind of “Where’s Waldo” (or “Where’s Wally” as we call it in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK) of contrasting scenes and multiple characters all engaged in that same perverse mixture of luxury, reverie, damnation, in the landscape of America. Somewhere on holiday under a vengeful sun."
