Angie + Dero Arcade present The Underling, the fourth studio album from artist Angela Garrick.
Angie’s vast artistic contributions underpin Australia’s contemporary underground musical culture. Having performed and collaborated in bands Circle Pit, Southern Comfort and Ruined Fortune, Angie launched her solo moniker in 2013.
A fleeting encounter at an alleyway gig in Athens, Greece in 2016 led Angie to meet John Vulgaris. The much-esteemed Greek engineer and producer had set up a makeshift studio in the Psyri neighbourhood of Athens, to which he invited Angie to record what would become the beginnings of The Underling.
Angie reflects on this time, saying “We arranged to record and I flew to Greece with excitement and trepidation, unsure of what, if anything, may eventuate from the session. I spent the first few days there trying to help my friend Alekos find his cat, Alma, which had disappeared in the local neighbourhood - but soon enough, the sessions begun with rehearsals in a rented studio space inside a tall dilapidated skyscraper where John’s band, Bazooka, rehearsed. The next three weeks we worked in this makeshift studio inside an underground rehearsal space, negotiating instrumentation and stylistics into the late, late night, often almost spilling into the morning.”
After a solidified period performing piano compositions from her third LP 'Shyness', as far afield as the Sydney Opera House and a small dive bar in Tokyo, Angie describes The Underling as a return to exploring various dimensions of the rock and roll genre; “the final chapter to the exploratory rock trilogy initiated by Turning (2013) and continued by Free Agent (2015) - dirty, sometimes desolate, yet hopeful and groovy rock and roll.”
