underscores announces her forthcoming album Wallsocket out September 22 via Mom+Pop.

Along with the announce, underscores shares her upbeat single "Locals (Girls like us) [with gabby start]" paired with a music video created by underscores, Ayodeji, gabby start, and Chris Yellen. underscores says “everything was too sad. I wanted to have some fun.”

"Locals (Girls like us) [with gabby start]"  follows her singles “Cops and robbers'' and "You don't even know who I am."

— “Yeah, I don’t know, she just sent me an absolutely crazy beat. First I heard, I knew I had to hop on.” — gabby start

Off the back of announcing a now sold-out debut London show, underscores will be on her North American ‘Hometown Tour’ with notable dates at LA’s The Roxy, Brooklyn’s Music Hall Of Williamsburg, and more. Tickets HERE. See all dates below.

After taking the year off to write music in Wallsocket, MI, underscores recently began revealing the happenings in Wallsocket. The trailer and a statement across Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram stirred fans to hunt for information in deciphering what is happening in the town. 

Independent from her inception, underscores chose to stay independent while inking a deal with Mom+Pop Music. She also debuted “Count of three (You can eat $#@!)” – co-written with Dylan Brady (of 100 Gecs), Cashmere Cat, Benny Blanco – on 100 Gecs’ imprint. With the exception of collabs, underscores writes, records, and produces her music entirely one-hundred percent on her own.

Having methodically built her following over the years, underscores has garnered over 42 million Global streams across platforms. She sold out her debut 2022 headline tour and has graced  festival stages, including Lollapalooza, Corona Capital CDMX, Electric Forest, and FVDED in the Park. 

The critically acclaimed artist who defies musical categories has been lauded by The Atlantic, Rolling Stone and Fader, among many others. The mystery that surrounds her is intentional for underscores as she creates music for her generation.

Steven Kornhaber at The Atlantic in talking about music in the post-pandemic era, said: “I was deep in the throes of an obsession with a new musician: underscores, who makes intelligent, guitar-loaded electronic pop about the anxiety of being alive.”  

Elias Light at Rolling Stone said, “underscores started to think about constructing songs in more complex, unpredictable ways, designing their own mad-libs rather than penciling in someone else’s.”
