Their sound borrows heavily from triphop, lounge, Latin, spy movie soundtracks, and torch singer ethics, producing a generally dusky vibe. Drawing comparisons to acts like Morcheeba, King Kooba, Soma Sonic, or Baby Fox isn&#8217;t hard to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">UNA, the trio of Richard Larsen, Jennifer Cook and Eddie Barajas, straddles the territory between electronica, triphop and in brief moments, acoustic indie sounds. There are subdued beats, many keyboards, and a bit of turntablism with added &#8220;organics&#8221; like acoustic and electric guitar and bass. UNA\u00a0describe themselves as &#8220;an experiment in Latin, blues, trip-hop and soul&#8221;. Certainly The last two are most accurate, as Una distinctly lacks blues riffs, and nods only a little to Latin rhythms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Jennifer Cook&#8217;s soft vocals dominate all five of the songs. She is both sensual and yearning, creating a sophisticated lounge feeling with touches of torch and exotica. The songs are melodic, minor-key musings that can haunt you after a few listenings. They sneak up on you, beginning with quiet electronic effects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;Jonah&#8221; is where you&#8217;ll hear the acoustic indie sound, &#8220;Fading in C# Minor&#8221; has a triphop flavor, &#8220;Blue Dress&#8221; makes nice and uncharacteristically strong use of Latin strings and percussion, &#8220;Angels At My Door&#8221; revisits the triphop sound, and &#8220;Hate&#8221; has over a minute of ambient, gurgling nature and psychedelia before Cook&#8217;s voice begins and the song evolves into a lounge\/exotica inspired sound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My only complaint is the EP length. At about half an hour, just like the rain, it is over and gone before you want it to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">~ Dave Howell &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unamusic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Properly-Chilled-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-237\" alt=\"Properly Chilled 01\" src=\"https:\/\/unamusic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Properly-Chilled-01.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unamusic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Properly-Chilled-01.jpg 500w, https:\/\/unamusic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Properly-Chilled-01-264x502.jpg 264w, https:\/\/unamusic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Properly-Chilled-01-265x504.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Properly\u00a0Chilled review of UNA: The Rain is Over and Gone EP http:\/\/www.properlychilled.com\u00a0 UNA\u00a0are a jazz\/electronica influenced downtempo trio based in Los Angeles, CA.
