Harry Harrison Sand Whale is an EP of punk/stoner fusion that’s guaranteed to get your foot tapping. There’s a roughness that makes this EP all that much better to immerse yourself in. I'm just loving the stuff that’s coming out of Russia at the moment. Awesome tunes, thanks Underthals. And thanks to C.D. for the feed. Favorite track: The Blind.

Qualm 05:29
Drowned are not allowed To step into the same water twice Splitted are not permitted To go to scattered bodies and look through eyes He who’s picked up quickly Doesn’t count fallen at all But you who litter thickly — to save the ass — Better watch your head and cut off the qualm That lives there Elevator up I’ve changed my mind Pledge my word it’s ultimately this time Elevator up I’ve changed my mind Oh wait could I make the final try Elevator up I trust myself Move it move it move it and the doom is mine Elevator up I comprehend No wait do I have just one more try Tell me Do I have just one more try Tell me Who are they passing me by Who are They dissolving in mountain’s womb Are they Our descendants for whom Elevator up I’ve changed my mind Pledge my word it’s ultimately this time Elevator up I’ve changed my mind Oh wait could I make the final try Elevator up I trust myself Move it move it move it and the doom is mine Elevator up I comprehend No wait do I have just one more try Music you know inducing Face it with carefully washed Face None will be confusing If you’re waiting me to end up with «disgrace» He who’s picked up quickly Doesn’t count in any sense And you who are so sickly — as winter sun — Better watch your guts and protuberance One way No way I’m the mediator Give me Take me And crush the elevator

The Blind 05:38
Their hearts are like throats in blood That hardly furrow Hot crystal hollow It’s your eyes I’m talking about The pearl in the sand The gleam in the well The slug waiting to fall down But it freezes at the fall Another brick in the wall The wall of the temple now While your teeth Are mashing breath Enter bumblebee Washes gut In your blood Just before it flees Needles that stale Horses that pale That dream about ragged wounds Reality has bitten In itself but they’ knitting And always surely would While your teeth Are mashing breath Enter bumblebee Washes gut In your blood Just before it flees I’ll never look into your face again I don’t want to regret I’ll never look into your face again That I’m the one who sees Oh this vermillion This vermillion veil Oh this milky bud of the wall-eye

Bubbles 04:55
You do right and the rest is not your charge. Working, buying, giving birth… "What more can I do?" You sink in the tub full of complacency. Maybe all the mess of the world starts here? Burst your dear bubble Of tranquility. Burst your dear bubble. Do it, break the cherished Dear bubble made of ivory. Burst your dear bubble, Do it, even though you… The earth has bubbles, as the water has, And these are of them – it once was written. You are only bubble filler for now – Beware of turning into bubble yourself. Burst your dear bubble Of tranquility. Burst your dear bubble. Do it, break the cherished Dear bubble made of ivory. Burst your dear bubble, Do it, even though you Could start a chain reaction But the very sense is just in it. Let's start the chain reaction 'Cause the very sense is just in it.

Permian-Triassic Extinction event Was far more deadly Than K-T one It was the greatest Dying of species On Earth But you've survived for... What? Oh therapsida What have your seed done X2 We hope that Gojira Will think and forgive us For this innocent joke About ecology Oh therapsida What have your seed done X2

about

Mammals ancestors, bloody bumblebee, elevator of doom, bubbles made of ivory, and the longest compounded rhyme in English on Russian rock scene - those are only few figures of the hard/heavy/stoner/grunge band Underthals’ first EP. It’s charged with very diverse moods, from bitterness and repulsion to tasty joke, from doubt and qualm to emotional overload and then burst. It’s the four-part composition of hard and heavy melodies, swinging, seducing here, and epic, invocatory there. It’s the young sand whale either hanging in boundless depths or rapidly cutting through them.

about

Underthals Moscow, Russia

As Sand Whale EP shows, a peculiar kind of hard/heavy/stoner/grunge blend is primary for Underthals’ music today. This mixture is thick but not greasy, tough but ethereal where needed, speedy but made with careful attention to the details. Team feature are two vocalists with different points: frontman for clean voice and growling, MC for growling too but along with nu-like flow. ... more
