New Noise Magazine is pleased to be bringing forth the extremely fuzzed out tune “Rachel” by The Soft Underground. With a raging bass line and tight drum patterns the song’s foundation is set right into the core of rock. A blazing guitar solo sweeps through the middle of the song, setting it ablaze with a gritty aesthetic. Take a listen to the track below and get ready for some fiery licks to ring out through the mix.

“‘Rachel’ was written around the same time as we were making our first album. That’s probably why it sounds closer to our last album than any of the other songs. Lyrically, it’s just a laundry list of complaints about everything from technology to the fake-ness of Hollywood actors.” – The Soft Underground

The Soft Underground was formed in New York City by drummer, Andrew McCarty and guitarist, Charlie Hickey, after they met at music school. The two bonded over their enthusiasm of bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine. After many gigs playing under different incarnations of the band, the duo eventually recruited vocalist, Brannon Barnett, before beginning work on their debut album, Lost in Translation.

Throughout 2014, the band split their time between New Jersey and Tennessee to record and mix the album, and released their debut single, “Limousine”, in December. Doug McCausland of Alternative Nation wrote of the single, “the band definitely has a knack for writing rock songs with hooks, as evident in their track “Limousine”, which I could see as a potential radio single.”

On October 30, 2015, The Soft Underground released their debut record, Lost in Translation to positive critical review.
