Listening to Underscore is like finding a lost folder of audio files on a discarded laptop. The sound is deeply submerged, characterized by a thick, murky atmosphere where digital artifacts and glitchy textures drift like silt on the ocean floor. It is music that feels intentionally anonymous, stripping away the ego of the artist to focus entirely on the evocative power of low-resolution soundscapes and urban isolation.

What makes this project distinctive is the tension between its organic flow and its harsh digital origins. There is a persistent sense of 'bit-rot' - the feeling that the music is slowly decomposing as you hear it. It captures a specific kind of modern loneliness, one found in the quiet corners of the internet or the empty streets of a neon-lit city at night, where the only company is the hum of electronics.

Start with the 2021 releases like 浴 or 未 to experience the more refined, textural side of the project. These works serve as a perfect entry point for those who enjoy the intersection of Japanese experimental electronics and the 'liminal space' aesthetic. It is best experienced in total solitude with high-quality headphones to catch the subtle, crumbling details.
