A Danish band whose music drifts between grounded textures and dreamlike spaces.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'In A Dream About Wild Horses' or 'Totmacher.' Both have that layered, slightly untethered feel they do well.
Under Byen's songs build these layered atmospheres that feel both specific and untethered. 'The Deathmaker' and 'Totmacher' show how they pull from different sonic textures without sticking to one genre. Their work with artists like Mads Langer hints at a collaborative, fluid approach to making music.
They formed in Copenhagen around 2013, releasing the EP 'Fruen i mit Liv' in 2014 and the album 'Lyset i Mørket' in 2016. That album included 'Af Samme Stof som Støv,' a track that sparked some discussion about their composition process. Their recorded work since then has kept that atmospheric, drifting quality.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
