On October 16th, Side One Recordings will release Underworld's Oblivion with Bells, the duo's fifth studio album and their first since A Hundred Days Off in 2002. On Oblivion with Bells, the Underworld palette is richer than ever: epic techno nestles next to frail acoustics, beatific prose next to sharp, urban observation, amazing sound texturing mix with mobile phone recordings.
What's everyone think of this album? I'm really loving it so far, it seems to have a slightly darker tone than the last two, somewhat reminiscent of Second Toughest in the Infants but also original yet unmistakably Underworld...
Underworld are awesome. One of the only electronic groups I can enjoy singing in. I only know one album's worth of songs, but I'd be totally willing to learn more.
