We almost missed The Underground EP from Portland kindie icon, Red Yarn, aka Andy Furgeson. Told from the perspective of subterranean rats, moles and worms — animals a little less cuddly than Red’s usual critter companions — the seven-song EP delves into grunge, punk and dance sounds.
But the tracks still ooze that Red Yarn charm: “Aw Rats!” is a head-bopping, Ramones-style anthem, “Bunnies at the Club featuring Uncle Devin” will no doubt have your littles shaking their tails and the uplifting “Diggin Down” might be best described as folk/electronica.
