Running Angel in Underground
When you look at the scene, some bands don’t just make music; they invoke an entire era. That’s exactly the vibe 16 Underground is channeling, paying homage to the iconic sounds of ’90s trip-hop. The band’s name itself is a nod to the celebrated “6 Underground” group, immediately signaling their deep connection to that rich musical lineage.
They aren’t just rehashing old sounds; they are expertly reviving the melancholic, atmospheric energy that defined that golden age of electronic music. This commitment to the retro sound shines through in their forthcoming EP, Without A Trace.
The anticipation is building as 16 Underground rolls out new material, and the news is great for listeners: a significant portion of the record is already available. The band recently dropped a third advance track this week, meaning that sixty percent of their forthcoming music is ready to be experienced right now.
One standout piece that has caught attention is the track Angel (On The Run), which has already garnered buzz and appeared on publications like Stereogum. It’s clear that 16 Underground is not just preserving history; they are actively engaging with it, offering a fresh take on the mood and texture of classic trip-hop while firmly planting their own mark on the genre.
