There's a typeface called Univers and it's pronounced "yoo-nih-verz". Maybe the band is pronounced the same.

How else would you pronounce it?

Jaga Jazzist (I'm assuming it's something like yaga yazzist since they're Norwegian)
I always thought Kayo Dot was pronounced "kay-oh" and Dredg was pronounced the same as "dredge", but I've wondered the exact same think about Jaga Jazzist.
