The Soft Underground was formed in New York City by drummer Andrew McCarty and guitarist Charlie Hickey after they met at music school. The two bonded over their enthusiasm of bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine. After many gigs playing under different incarnations of the band, the duo eventually recruited vocalist Brannon Barnett before beginning work on their debut album, Lost in Translation.
Throughout 2014, the band split their time between New Jersey and Tennessee to record and mix the album, and released their debut single, “Limousine”, in December. Lost in Translation was released last year. and now here comes a video for one of the songs off that LP. “Untrue” is a super-catchy track, with a shuffle beat, jazzy bass, driving acoustic guitar and cool, low-key vocals. RIYL: Beck, Folk Implosion
