"Out From Underneath" is the new album from Prism Shores, a Montreal band that fuses the lo-fi indie pop inspired by the C86 style, and the enveloping, dreamy atmosphere of early shoegaze. The album builds on the same foundations as many of the legendary labels of the 80s and 90s - such as Sarah Records, Creation and Flying Nun - but the band leaves a personal stamp that makes it unique and fresh. Out From Underneath tackles young adult ennui and the adjustment of settling in an unfamiliar city, its lyrics dealing with the growing pains experienced during a time of upheaval. It is contemplative and chock-full of emotional depth; a nighttime album that channels self-reflexive melancholy into some form of catharsis.
