Under

Under have been featured on ABC's 'Ugly Betty' and the CBS/ Sci-Fi show 'Moonlight'. Their music has been described as 'pop noir' - vague, often melancholic lyrics, agreeably catchy melodies, warm sounds with a hint of something darker hidden in Jen Triano's distinctive, almost innocent vocal delivery. They comprise singer Jen Triano and keyboard player Eamonn Flynn. They are based in San Francisco although Eamonn is originally from Dublin, Ireland.   Their just released debut full length release 'more pleasant grey' features contributions from Canadian electronic artist Milosh and former Kronos Quartet cellist Joan Jeanrenaud and many more. Behind it all though is a meeting of minds between two people whose tastes seem to effortlessly overlap.   'The San Francisco group and lead singer Jen Triano and her nothing-short-of-intoxicating voice, creates a bloody brilliant primal slow-burner that I loved simply because it could be the perfect way to help alleviate and unwind a crowd after a long day's journey into the night and segueing into the wee hours of the morning. Love it, love it!' Mike Stier, for About.com   'Organic *****' - Properly Chilled   'This amazing album, "More Pleasant Grey" shows us the many sides of Under with the rework of "Keep on Moving" that has a new softer edge with a drum n bass surprise, the haunting and deep sounds of "Berkeley" and some of the tracks you feel in love with from the EP along with some new gems.   But to kick it all off is the beautiful, fun and intoxicating track, "Gravity" which if you were already a fan of Under says welcome back and get ready for an amazing journey... For those who were not a fan yet you will be after hearing this one.' - Julian Lennon's pick of the week on Below Zero.
