Underscores Enters the Big Leagues

As reported by The Guardian, Underscores is entering the big leagues with a sound inspired by the San Francisco tech boom and a slot on Charli xcx's Music, Fashion, Film tour.

April Grey, the San Francisco-born, Chicago-based musician behind Underscores, has had a notable year with her third album U released in March to acclaim and attracting new fans. Many of her tour shows were upgraded due to demand.

Grey's album U is a taut, compulsively listenable pop record that sounds like a mid-2000s Now That’s What I Call Music! compilation as recreated by Aphex Twin. She says, 'As I was making it, it felt like a very big swing for the fences,' and 'I wanted it to be big.'

This development matters to listeners because it showcases Underscores' growth and ambition in the music industry, offering a unique sound that blends hyperpop with other influences.
