Underscores is about to go from pop's best kept secret to one of its boldest revisionists. The new album you is one of my favorite releases of the year so far, so when I got wind of a pop up, of course, I had to slide. I rallied some friends, grabbed a lift, and pulled up to $3 bill where there was a massive line down the block. Some fans have been waiting since 9AM apparently, but we got to head in a little early to do an interview with April before fans started coming in for one of the most ridiculous DJ events I have ever been to. Underscore's partner would live for this and stacked everyone from Madeon to Umru into the truck with her to play some of her own music better mostly deep cuts and greatest hits from across the decades so best got sillier as the night went on it was tier and 2000s rank that I hadn't heard in years there was a Skrillex Koscata mashup that broke my brain everyone on the decks was going song for song really just trying to make each other laugh with edits of everything from Usher, Miley, Danielle, Harlem, Rank Panthers, to Like a G6, Harlem Shake, and Hetzel Roll, which really represents all the styles, aesthetics, and artistic perspectives that informs underscore sound and that she's deconstructing in her epic reinvention of pop.
