about

Appleshine - a minimalist, hypnotic small hours glide; a techno pulse wound tightly around a daydream vocal that ultimately unfolds into an ambient coda (reminiscent of Rez) that seems to make the whole track - and the listener - levitate. It is beautifully, uniquely, undoubtedly Underworld.

Appleshine features a new film by Simon Taylor, and Georgia and Lewis from Black Country, New Road on violin and flute respectively. The intro of the track was originally published online when Underworld headlined the BBC Biggest Weekend in Belfast in 2018 - this is the first time the full track has been made available.

lyrics

APPLESHINE

Clouds like smoke
The smell of burning
Light casts shadows
Howling

A rumble in the sky
The end of summer
Petals fall from flowers
A crow

We watch the rain
The world is upside down
Cardboard at the windows
Block the light

Sitting in the sky
Howling
Willow and Oak rest their heads against each other
Hissing

Wings arrive
Grey and Black and White
A broken branch
And engine noise

Trees are breathing

She doesn’t like balloons

I sent you a message
We walked in the rain
Laughing

Unprepared
Holding bags
On top of our heads
Everybody else had nothing

They were stupid
We were great

I sent you a message

I got something to show you
It’s a few days old

Or amazing

It’s the weekend
It’s a big one
In Black and White
Don’t spill it
Tap it
Cover it in sugar
Eat it!

Oh don’t despair
We repair
Unconditional

I got something to show you
It’s a few days old
It’s amazing
