‘Sex & Food’ is a delightfully shapeshifting album that filters real-deal serious themes through a vibrant sonic lens that spans battered drum machine funk, doomy and thrashing rock and pinkhued psychedelic disco.

Recorded in a variety of locales from Seoul and Hanoi to Reykjavik, Mexico City and Auckland, ‘Sex & Food’ is a practical musical travelogue, with local musicians from the countries that Nielson and his band visited pitching in throughout.
