Angie - The Underling

Angie (Angela Garrick)'s vast artistic contributions underpin Australia’s contemporary underground musical culture. Having performed and collaborated in bands Circle Pit, Southern Comfort and Ruined Fortune, Angie launched her solo moniker in 2013; her fourth studio album The Underling is out now via Dero Arcade.

After a solidified period performing piano compositions from her third LP 'Shyness', as far afield as the Sydney Opera House and a small dive bar in Tokyo, Angie describes The Underling as a return to exploring various dimensions of the rock and roll genre; “the final chapter to the exploratory rock trilogy initiated by Turning (2013) and continued by Free Agent (2015) - dirty, sometimes desolate, yet hopeful and groovy rock and roll.”
