Written during intense tours across the globe, Underneath reflects a surreal period for each member of Floodlights, marked by firsts, discoveries, and moments of intimacy amidst a touring life. The songs blend incisive societal reflections with personal meditations on grief, memory, and place, embodying a journey of questioning and growth. Through enveloping alt-rock sounds, the album deeply explores the human condition and illustrates a metamorphosis in motion. Underneath is dedicated to Luke Kehoe.
