Makeunder

Makeunder is/was an art rock band led by singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Hamilton Ulmer. The band went inactive after releasing two EPs and a full album's worth of inventive music that chronicles Ulmer's personal history and family stories. Their music combines elements of chamber music, R&B, and rock into a distinct flavor that does not have too many analogs. Their initial EP, Radiate, Satellite (2012) was centered around string instruments and embraced dissonance. Afterwards, they began to incorporate more R&B flavors into their often genre-bending sound as Ulmer himself expanded his vocal work to add a more soulful texture. Regardless of the stylistic shifts, their music is dense, tightly choreographed, and deliciously out of step with the prevailing pop sensibilities of our time.
