Underscores opens The Galleria North American Chapter in Los Angeles

Underscores begins The Galleria North American Chapter tour on 27 May at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, making this one of the day’s cleanest exact-date live hooks. The tour supports U, the March album released via Mom + Pop, and runs through late June with Umru joining throughout.

Underscores, also known as April Harper Grey, has built one of the most interesting modern pop universes by treating digital-age life as both playground and pressure chamber. U was framed as music for malls, airports, hotels and supermarkets, which sounds funny until you realize how perfectly it captures the emotional architecture of modern touring, transit and consumption.

Starting the tour in Los Angeles makes sense because this is music that lives between hyperpop, dance-pop, internet culture, overstimulation and sincere emotional need. The live question is how those glossy, restless, highly produced tracks translate into a room full of bodies. For 27 May, this is a strong indie-pop and alternative-electronic item because it catches an artist turning a concept album about liminal public spaces into a physical touring environment.
