UNA

..

Reviewed by Aylin Zafar


The haunting, minimal tendencies of UNA’s downtempo sound are enough to put you into a state of complete meditation if not for the gorgeous, soulful vocals of singer Jennifer Cook (also a member of an URB Next 100 pick, Elephonic). Mixing classic trip-hop with blues, Latin, and soul influences, the L.A. trio has been getting their due attention recently, recognized by CMJ as an Ourstage Pick, and a favorite of KCRW. Enjoy the slinky sounds of “Fading in C# Minor” below.

the studio is up and we are blogging from the edge of space where UNA's new sound technology is coming from...past the most distant stars, beyond the galaxies, is a place of grandeur and magnitude where we will compose our next EP/LP.
Unlike earthly sounds which fade, our new sound is based on celestial harmonies, an experience never heard on earth, which will last forever.

Hi,

We wanted to thank everyone for coming out to our July shows.  We originally intended to not play this summer so that we could focus on recording but we ended playing 8 shows since May.  Here are some pics from the last two.  We are waiting on some less blurry pics from the El Rey show with BitterSweet.  The daytime pics are from the Malibu Arts Festival in conjunction with MyAwol and the Malibu Music Awards.

Thank you friends.  My heart is full.
