underscores

About

Underscores isn't just making music; they're building sonic playgrounds, meticulously crafted from the shards of internet culture. This LA-based artist, real name April Jai, detonates genre conventions with a hyperactive blend of glitch pop, electronica, and elements of midwest emo. Think 100 gecs filtered through a Sega Genesis, with a healthy dose of earnest vulnerability layered on top. Starting out creating quirky electronic music on SoundCloud, underscores gained traction within online music communities, culminating in the release of their breakout album, "fishmonger," in 2021. "fishmonger" was a critical darling, celebrated for its chaotic energy and unapologetic exploration of identity and mental health. Collaborations with artists like Jane Remover have further solidified their status as a key figure in the burgeoning hyperpop scene. Currently, underscores continues to experiment with sound and push creative boundaries, teasing new music and immersive live experiences that promise to be even more unpredictable than what's come before. Their unique vision and commitment to authenticity make underscores an artist impossible to ignore.
