Undergone releases debut single "Falling Apart"

Out of the depths of Katowice, Poland, Undergone, an upstart heavyweight in atmospheric rock, arises. Their first single, "Falling Apart," is an aural trip into the subconscious, the audible equivalent of a night terror unfurling in real time.

With Wiktoria Borecka's eerie vocal, dual guitars from Dawid Bestry and Kamil Orszulik, Mikołaj Żarski's layered drumming, and Alicja Więcław's brooding bass pulse, the band forms a dense and enveloping mix of grunge, post-rock, and shoegaze. This is not music that's in a hurry to impress. "Falling Apart" is no exception, taking its time to crawl the skin with a lengthy, moody instrumental opening that sets the tone for what's in store.

Wiktoria's voice descends like a delicate, unsettling, and soaked-in emotion. The song's lyrics, based on a real-life night terror, offer a grim portrayal of mental descension. As the song crescendos into a hurricane of distortion and noise, you suspect you're hearing a wicked simulacrum of the song's central nightmare.

Every note has a raw openness bolstered by the personal touch of the cover art, a scan of a real journal entry from Wiktoria reflecting the song's emotional core. The cover art is a window into the band's creative psyche. In "Falling Apart," Undergone shows this is an act unafraid to probe the darkness, and if this debut is an indicator, their aural excursion is just beginning.
