West is touring Australia this week, playing Sydney's Qantas Credit Union Arena on the weekend.

Ruban Nielson's Guide to Portland
Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Ruban Nielson has been based in Portland, Oregon for seven years now, but we'll never stop claiming him as our own. Melody Thomas met up with the UMO frontman for a tour of the city he now calls home, including visits to a steakhouse-cum-stripclub, a famous donut shop, and a store dedicated solely to synthesisers.
