The End Of Us

Linked by fate and brought together by laser focus on storytelling through music, UNA is a collective of head, heart, and soul. With a barebones roster of Jennifer Nice on vocals, Richard Larsen on keys and production, Eddie Barajas on turntables, and Scott Eric Olivier on guitar and drums. UNA imparts a larger-than-life sound on listeners, telling intricate tales in a direct, sensual and cinematic style.

Inspired by the present, the past and things as simple as a feeling, UNA is a spirited electronic track inspired by an insufferable crime of passion; an opulent lullaby based on global human drama; an anguished, orchestral trip-hop ballad about an unstable world.

Could the magic of UNA be categorized into a genre? Maybe. Downtempo and electronica surely loom large in the quartet's repertoire, but so do blues, jazz, Latin influences, soul and funk; a retro-future sensibility with a sound firmly planted in the present. 

Dedicated to borrowing from all genres to tell their stories, a throughline persists; earnestly sultry vocals, penchant keys, expansive basslines, blithesome gritty instrumentation and cavernous effects forming a pleasing marriage between light and dark that drips with charisma.

The smoke twisting in the wind, the little girl crying in the closet, the existential conundrums of the modern world. The mystical experience of simply living. UNA is the sound of everyday living. With a twist.
