Unruly Neighbors - Sameer Gupta + Ben Tyree: Album Cover Reveal and Interview with Kundan Baidwan

Unruly Neighbors came together at the height of the COVID-19 crisis in New York and released their debut album June 12, amidst the national uprising against anti-black racism and police brutality - an unarguably scary, heavy, stressful, and sorrowful time. Tyree describes it as a way to process his feelings at the time, “bringing light into the darkness.” The project has the feeling of an alchemical process - as both musicians set the intention to explore ideas and feelings about what was going on to make something positive, something progressive, out of that. “It is about sharing the creative process/energy - of channeling something rather than being just another channel on internet tv, which is a powerful thing for people to witness,” reflects Gupta. Unruly Neighbors wields an urban, edgy sound with deep feeling, groove, propulsion, and elevated dimensions of spirit - to provide listeners with a sense of hope, solidarity, searching, and inspiration.
