MarcoUnderSong

Songs drawn from the well between waking and dream — shimmer, drone, and quiet incantation.

Marco UnderSong portrait
The Songwriter

A reverie from the far side of the veil

Marco UnderSong writes in the lineage of Neo Folk. Twelve-string chime, romanticism, and a fondness for the symbols pinned to old tarot cards. His songs move like candle smoke: unhurried, faintly ritual, always circling some half-remembered light.

Recorded in a bespoke Seattle studio, the music pairs kaleidoscopic guitars with hushed organ drones and lyrics that read like pages torn from a dream journal.

“I’m not interested in the dark for its own sake — only in the things it lets you see.”

He performs rarely, and always after dusk.

— Marco UnderSong

From the Abyss of Centuries...
Prostrate on the Edge

We Declare Mutiny

Above the Tempests of Cacophony...
And Tasteless Vulgarity...

to whom Art is Mystery...
Join us in proclaiming Our Revulsion

And Seek Sanctuary in The Archaic

Cloak ourselves in Darkness...
And Wear as a Badge of Honor...
The title Gothic!

The Book of UnderSongs

Poetry has always run beneath Marco's songs. Here, for the first time, the verses stand on their own — rhythm and metre carrying their gothic and romantic themes, and closing, fittingly, on a manifesto for the esoteric.
