Denver Luna single release - October 18, 2023

[DoomofKiss]

So is Underworld planning on dropping these new songs as individual singles ? Or are they waiting to release them all together via new album ? (possibly a Drift Series 2 ?)

It may be that they don't even know, given the one interview we've heard lately right before The Colour Red. Seems like most bands have forgotten how to communicate or release things in any clear kind of way post-pandemic, or even use the established tools they already have and know very well. I'm looking toward Depeche Mode's very recent album cycle, but it's rampant now, like everyone forgot how to do the regular things they used to do.

I'm all for shaking up the status quo, but that should involve focused effort like Drift demonstrated so well. Things lately just feel inept (like not even linking The Colour Red graphic on their homepage to anything or adding any info to the News section for the release - you know, basic stuff). :/

i don't feel that.

i got emails, saw the links, and was able to keep up.

it's not like there's tons of underworld material coming out.

Yeah - funny that I seem to be the negative one lately about all this.

Just feels odd to me for a group that used to be so good at communication and very involved to not have much idea where this is going. Obviously was very spoiled by Drift.

As mentioned, this is a frustration started from other corners of the music industry, just disappointed to also feel it from the one I care about most.

Mainly just anxious to hear clear versions of the other three new songs, which seem like some of the best/most epic vocally they have done in a long time.

I feel like "And the Color Red" was a soft open of sorts. not directly the single they'll make the most fuss about, but the "back again" lead in before something with more presence to it busts through the door. is that Denver Luna? Strawberry Hotel? Gene Pool? Maybe the crowd response from the handful of gigs will decide that. I saw two of them live and they were both massive "beautiful burnout" types in different ways.

My only complaint, and where I feel they're definitely following the traditional hype schedule, is that it's not coming fast enough. If not a new single, maybe some dates? Something. I had Red on repeat for a week after it was out. I Am Red E.

Well, on insta we have 3 new clips from cochella and RAH, with the wording “if u know u know”. Maybe I’m missing something but maybe it’s a hint. ��

[River of Bass]

is this one of the best songs from our heroes ?

when i listen to this hot stuff i think :
all the years of waiting...and here it is.
my body is shaking.

Does anyone have any guesses as when we might see anything new (Denver Luna or Strawberry Hotel would be particularly good)? The only thing I can guess at is "sometime between October and end of the year", because after 30th September they don't have any more dates listed then until 03/24 in Amsterdam. I know it's a very vague question but a 5+ month gap after a single is long for any band, particularly when they're playing other stuff in the interim anyway.

[Dino3D]

I guess the new album is coming. Hope they will announce it with the release of Denver!

[Dirty0900]

I just hope it isn’t another pricey 12” with one track on.
