A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
16 Underground, a new LA band formed in 2022 with members from the punk and hardcore scene, have announced a new EP titled "Without A Trace" and released the single "Glimpse Of You." Their sound blends shoegaze and trip-hop revival elements with breakbeat loops, wispy vocals, and bright textures that evoke a '90s aesthetic while feeling contemporary. The band's name appears to reference the Sneaker Pimps' hit song "6 Underground."
Key quotes
· 3 pulled16 Underground's members mostly come from the punk and hardcore world, but that's not what they're doing with this band.
Instead, they're making dizzy, sunny, brightly textured tracks with wispy vocals and breakbeat loops — tracks that sound both extremely '90s and extremely right-now.
The ongoing shoegaze revival shows no signs of slowing down, and now we've got a trip-hop revival to go right along with it.
