(U)nity – ‘(U)nity is Power’ (Album Review)

November 2, 2017 By Anthony Dean-Harris

The band (U)nity, co-lead by pianist Axel Laugart and percussionist Amaury Acosta, are legit and have been for a minute now, but with the release of their first proper album, their sound is more fully formed. Their previous releases, singles and mixtapes, had a roughness that showed direction, but with the release of (U)nity is Power, out now on Ropeadope, their meshing of … [Read more...]

Braxton Cook – “Somewhere in Between” (Video)

We loved … [Read more...]

Lauren Desberg – “Rock Steady” (Stream)

April 20, 2015 By Anthony Dean-Harris

Back in 2012, vocalist Lauren Desberg released an EP, Sideways, that still lingers with us here at Nextbop. Desberg's voice has a coolness to it that's always a pleasure to hear and typically tackles material that one doesn't hear often enough. For example, last weekend, Desberg dropped a stream of The Whispers' "Rock Steady" with backing from Taylor Eigsti, Corey Fonville, … [Read more...]
