Univore presents: High Density
indie pop with some cool extravaganza
“High Density” started as a Caribbean experiment and evolved into something stranger and distinctly our own. It’s from our new album, *Timelines*, says UNIVORE.
Official BIO:
Univore is Nicholas Flandro and David Bachmann. They hail from the Cuyahoga Valley region of Northeast Ohio, and met in high school, during which they embarked on several sound and video projects and first discussed the idea of forming an artistic enterprise.
Twelve years later, while living on Chicago’s west side, UNIVORE completed their first album, Casale Project, which is a spoken-word collaboration with local Chicago artist Marco Casale. Nicholas Flandro, with a background in video production, produced and directed several music and promotional videos to accompany the album, thus establishing Univore’s interest and capability as something more than a musical entity.
UNIVORE has released eight studio albums, Casale Project (2010) a spoken-word collaboration with Chicago artist Marco Casale, Love Letters (2011), Beasts From a Silk Womb (2013), Mysteries (2015) featuring saxophonist Louis Stockwell, Time Crystal (2017), Conch (2018), Sympathetic Vibrations (2020), Turquoise Hands (2023) and Timelines (2026). UNIVORE also completed a 26-minute short film in 2014 called Specimen 318, collaborating on the screenplay and original music, with Flandro directing the film.
UNIVORE has collaborated with several artists over the years. Collaborators include artist Marco Casale, bassist composer Bryan Doherty, saxophonist Louis Stockwell, vocalist , multi-instrumentalist and composer Sagan Jacobson, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lori LeChien, multi-instrumentalist and composer Levi Gillis, multi-instrumentalist and composer Liam Cloyd and multi-instrumentalist Shea Marshall.
Univore has been described as “walking the already thin line between earnest creativity and absurdity so thoroughly that it becomes visible only with a magnifying glass; they somehow manage to maintain sincerity in the process,” but we can’t remember who said that.
UNIVORE loves you.

My friend texted me at 4:00 AM to inform me that the genius behind this masterpiece has sadly passed away, although I’m not having any luck finding anything to confirm this.
As of today Univore will sadly no longer reside in such close proximity. We will continue to collaborate remotely, and create music to be delivered to your head holes. Into the future. Univore loves you. #univore #univorelovesyou
