This EP was a long term work in progress since before A Fearful Wonder was released. We planned to follow up the main album with some acoustic remakes, but it ended up taking much longer than we initially planned.

In any case, "Undercurrent" is our way of re-packaging some of our high-energy songs in a way that exposes the more melodic, smooth "undercurrents" hiding beneath the otherwise more metallic surface. We've always presented ourselves as a "genre-bending" band, but we have tended to approach that by blending musical elements together at the same time, rather than hopping back and forth between styles sequentially. With this EP, we hope that stripping away the metal and hard rock layers can help people hear the Pop, R&B, and Folk/Singer-Songwriter roots that have always been inherent in our material.

There are also two original pieces on this EP that have not been previously released: Swim and Looming Dawn, although the former has appeared in our live show as an intro to Shadow Ocean Stagnant.
