In 2020, Code Orange were on the verge of releasing their fourth album, Underneath, when their launch show was cancelled due to the pandemic. The Pittsburgh sextet turned it into a livestream, setting a trend in the process.
Steadfast and focused, they continued grinding with more virtual and real-life shows, a live album (Under My Skin) and a remix album (What Is Really Underneath?) – before finally hitting us with 2023’s uncompromising follow-up, The Above. It took their stuttering, electronic metal attack and laced it with gorgeous alt rock and shoegaze melodies.
