Ye olden days

Feral Media have recently begun the arduous task of shifting their entire catalogue over to Bandcamp and as such you can now find Underlapper releases, both past and present over at their Bandcamp site.

Recently uploaded was a limited edition Underlapper release entitled Remixes + 3 which features remixes of tracks from our debut album What Came Forth from the Sea by Comatone, Alpen, Seaworthy etc, as well as a couple of unreleased demo tracks from the Underlapper vault....Oh how the times change!

Anyhoo, you can head over a download a copy of the EP for free here

A little Live footage

Here is some footage from our recent Sydney album launch at FBi Social as part of the New Weird Australia night.
The track is 'Death by White Lies' and features the lovely Peter Hollo on Cello.
The sound is not great but you get the idea....

Underlapper remix The Black Hundred

A few months ago we completed a remix for Melbourne band The Black Hundred.
The track we chose was called Variations In Light & Speed taken from their self-titled album released late last year.
The band have now released a remix album entitled Variations which is available as a free download here.
The release includes remixes from All India Radio, Marcus Newman plus more.

So head on over and grab yourself a copy!

Choking Ibis

Here is another cut from the new album entitled Choking Ibis.
The track features the wonderful Peter Hollo on cello and some choral assistance from Tim and Dan from Parades, Sally and Alexi from Kaya (now defunct) and our good friend Mark Olsen.

Here are some kind words from the East to West blog about the track:

Slicing it's way through an inaudible chatter, Underlapper's Choking Ibis penetrates the deepest of facades. A constant rumble of semi-psychedelic sounds are curtly intercepted by the wonders of Peter Hollo's cello, slowing stripping back the layers of humanity and revealing a sea of unknown wonders. Amongst the revelations, an orchestral soundscape is accompanied by the howls of Parades' boys Dan Cunningham and Tim Jenkens, before the track builds to a march of empowerment. As united as it is dichotic, Chocking Ibis is the most powerful song to be found on their latest release Softly Harboured. True joy can be found in the unexpected.
