The Universe Conspires

About Me

The Universe Conspires emerged in 2003 as a two piece (insert generic categorization) music project from Chicago. In experimental sampling, guitar driven melodies, and group vocals TUC finds a musical home for their creativity. TUC evolved from a multitude of influences, and uniquely blends many genres. Their lyrics poetically reveal a dire urgency to instigate revolutions in the heart.
Longtime friends and collaborators, John and Kyle have produced over a hundred musical releases and literary publications within the past seven years, including long running publications J5 Magazine, The No Thing, and Blue Dolphin’s Ocean.
