In the last 12 months, Underlights have not only been busy on stage, but in the studio preparing for their debut EP.
In the first half of the year the band took several trips to pre-produce in the Southern Highlands, battling wind storms, power failures and falling tress (that almost killed their soon to be producer), but with a swag full of exciting new material Underlights are happy to say it was all worth it.
In August 2011 under the guidance of legendary producer Paul Mckercher, Underlights headed into the homely surrounds of the now dearly departed Big Jesus Burger studios in Surry Hills, to knock out the first two singles of their forthcoming debut EP. It was a fantastic opportunity for the band to tap into the extensive knowledge of one the countries most prolific producers and draw the absolute most out of each studio session.
Although recording of the EP is still underway, the partnership has so far yielded incredible results. Taking its inspiration from yesteryear, the first single ‘Now That You’re In Love’ has been met with rave reviews and this week has them featuring as the Triple J unearthed artist of the week.
