Underscores

Underscores, the American artist who shakes up indie pop codes, stops by Trabendo. A must-see event for lovers of bold sonorities and experimentation.

Underscores, real name Lily Somerville, is a rising figure on the indie pop-rock scene. Originally from California, she began gaining recognition in the early 2020s through a singular approach to composition and production. Her style is characterized by an inventive blend of catchy melodies, electronic textures, and raw energy, often tinged with a certain nostalgia. She deftly handles synthesizers, guitars, and drum machines to create a sonic universe uniquely her own, where one perceives echoes of 1990s pop while being resolutely anchored in the present.

Her early projects, notably the album "fishmonger" released in 2021, quickly attracted attention for their originality and ability to fuse a priori distant genres. Tracks like "Kinko's field trip 2006" or "Spoiled little brat" perfectly illustrate her signature: lyrics often introspective, sometimes ironic, carried by surprising arrangements and unexpected rhythmic breaks. Underscores is not afraid to explore the margins, incorporating elements of glitch, hyperpop, or alternative rock, giving her a rich and hard-to-classify sonic identity.

On stage, Underscores is renowned for her communicative energy and the faithfulness of her interpretations, while leaving room for a certain spontaneity. Her concerts are often described as immersive experiences where the artist manages to recreate the unique atmosphere of her recordings while adding a palpable live dimension. This performance at Trabendo, an intimate venue in La Villette Park, offers a precious opportunity to discover or rediscover this singular artist under optimal conditions, allowing direct connection with her Parisian audience.

This concert is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the universe of a musician who continues to surprise with her creativity and audacity. Underscores represents a new generation of artists redefining pop's contours by injecting a dose of experimentation and authenticity. Her work is a testament to the vitality of today's independent scene, and her presence in Paris is an event for anyone seeking to discover tomorrow's sounds.
