undrgrndman is a singer-songwriter / pianist / storyteller whose work shows influences from old school funk, rock, electronic, and classical music. Each song is a story--a carefully constructed blend of musical genres which defies categorization, and captivates the mind as well as the ear. The resulting sound is raw, aggressive, and unapologetic, with hints of artists such as Sly Stone, Prince, Trent Reznor, and James Blake. On"Terrible Thing (The Ballad of George Stinney", undrgrndman addresses the tragic events which led to the arrest and eventual execution of a 14-year-old boy in rural South Carolina. This haunting, atmospheric track keeps building until it finally breaks into a hectic assembly of aggressive rhythms and anxious orchestration. Lyrically, no attempt is made to make sense of the situation. It is altogether a tragedy--a terrible thing.
