"Can't Keep Checking My Phone" went out as a single from Multi-Love, the third studio album from New Zealand's Unknown Mortal Orchestra, released on 26 May 2015, and BBC 6 Music put it on its A-list, as it did the title track. Frontman Ruban Nielson produced, mixed and engineered the whole album himself, a record circling euphoria, sexual experimentation and emotional exhaustion, named for the year-long polyamorous relationship he had been living in.
Here Ruban plays guitar, synthesizer, bass and percussion and sings; two more Nielsons join him, Kody on drums and co-production and Chris on horn. Jacob Portrait wrote the song with Ruban, plays bass as well and pitched in on engineering. Multi-Love is widely counted as the band's global breakthrough.
