San Francisco's pop shapeshifter underscores is heading back to Australian shores this December for a run of headline theatre shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, with support from producer and DJ umru at every date.
The tour lands off the back of her third album U, released through Mom+Pop earlier this year. The record has racked up more than 80 million streams globally and picked up a triple j Feature Album nod, cementing a catalogue that’s evolved from teenage SoundCloud uploads into a full-blown exercise in genre demolition — spanning hyperpop, alt-pop and everything in between.
underscores, aka April Harper Grey, has been building a fiercely devoted fanbase since her 2017 debut skin purifying treatment EP, followed by 2021’s fishmonger and the concept album Wallsocket.
