History

Underlined Passages was started as a duo studio project in 2014 by Frank Corl and Michael Nestor-former drummer, lead singer and guitarist of the band The Seldon Plan, when The Seldon Plan disbanded in 2013..

In 2015, drummer Jamaal Turner joined the group and has appeared on all subsequent releases.

In September 2017, Underlined Passages released their third album Tandi My Dicafi. The single "Silverlake" is a reference to Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California, an area that inspired Nestor and Turner during the writing and production. Nestor and Turner cite the music of Flying Nun Records as inspiration for the record. In early 2018, Tandi My Dicafi was released in limited edition vinyl, with bonus tracks "We Lost The Sea " and "Interregnum," in conjunction with a tour of the East Coast of the United States.
