The Universal was formed in Boise Idaho around 2005. The sound could be described loosely as psychedelic rock, but their latest full length album demonstrates that The Universal isn’t so easily pigeon-holed into a certain definable sound. “Everything Is Everywhere” (april 2009) gallops across genres as if they were never there, and at once retains a common spirit of careful composition – peppered with experimentation and bizarre, often tongue-in-cheek lyrics infused with a certain innocent self parody and amusing plays on words.
Tell your friends and family that the saucers have landed in Boise, Idaho. They are coming.
