Code Orange recently unveiled a new interactive website loaded with Easter eggs and hints at new music. The band later confirmed they'd release a new song on January 10, and here we are. Code Orange is now streaming the title track of their new album Underneath alongside a cinematic music video directed by Max Moore.
"Underneath" is a pretty hard turn for Code Orange. The song shrugs off the band's usually jarring glitches and purposeful incoherencies, and instead takes a straightforward, almost Nine Inch Nails-esque approach to radio-friendly industrial. It might be my favorite thing this band has done to date.
Drummer and vocalist Jami Morgan gives a little more insight into Underneath.
"Underneath is about facing the duality in ourselves as individuals and as a society in an overcrowded, overexposed, all-consuming digital nirvana. Everyone has a voice and no one’s seems to matter… plummet down the rabbit hole of your deepest fears, anxieties and regrets to confront the monster that has been building underneath.
