Underscores

Underscores, the American artist who shakes up the codes of independent pop, makes a stop at Trabendo. An unmissable event for lovers of bold sounds and experimentation.

Underscores, real name Lily Somerville, is a rising figure in the independent pop-rock scene. Originally from California, she began to gain recognition in the early 2020s thanks to a unique approach to composition and production. Her style is characterised by an inventive blend of catchy melodies, electronic textures, and raw energy, often tinged with a certain nostalgia. She effortlessly handles synthesizers, guitars, and drum machines to create her own sonic universe, where echoes of 90s pop can be heard while remaining resolutely anchored in the present.

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

On stage, Underscores is renowned for her communicative energy and the fidelity of her interpretations, while also allowing 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 Parc de la Villette, offers a valuable opportunity to discover or rediscover this singular artist in optimal conditions, allowing for a direct connection with her Parisian audience.

This concert is an opportunity to delve into the world of a musician who constantly surprises with her creativity and audacity. Underscores represents a new generation of artists who are redefining the contours of pop, injecting a dose of experimentation and authenticity. Her work is a testament to the vitality of the current independent scene, and her presence in Paris is an event for all those looking to discover the sounds of tomorrow.
