underscores – Wallsocket

Underscores’ “Wallsocket” isn’t your typical pop album. It’s a genre-bending journey through the fictional town of Wallsocket, Michigan, where three young women grapple with the complexities of adulthood. Buckle up for a wild ride that blends pop, rock, and folk with surprising twists and turns. Imagine a sonic kaleidoscope where crunchy electro-punk crashes into Beck-inspired swagger, all laced with the frenetic energy of a 100 gecs track.

This concept album isn’t just about catchy tunes. Underscores, acting as a fly on the wall (or should we say, a lurker in Wallsocket?), delves into the characters’ struggles. Themes of navigating corporations, questioning religion, coping with gun violence, and the sting of class resentment course through the album’s 12 tracks. It’s a raw and unflinching look at the anxieties of young adulthood, all delivered with a healthy dose of artistic innovation.
