Underground Springhouse have been building this one differently. ‘A Noise Without A Name,’ the band’s second studio album, arrives May 1 on all streaming platforms and on limited edition vinyl, and it represents a genuine creative leap. Recorded at Standard Electric Recorders Co. in Atlanta in fall 2025, all 10 tracks were written specifically for the studio, none of them road-tested beforehand, making this the first time the band let the recording space itself shape the songwriting from the ground up.
The result draws on rare guitars, vintage synthesizers, and analog processors that the band hadn’t previously had access to, adding new texture to their genre-blending southern rock, indie, and reggae-rooted sound. The album also marks the first studio recordings with drummer AJ Covey, whose world percussion expertise and understated style bring each song a new dimension, and the lead vocal debuts of members Mitch Davidson and Max Motley. Longtime songwriting contributors Charlie Haas and Jackson Thompson anchor the album’s core, keeping the band’s classic feel intact while pushing into new territory.
“We kept it pretty simple, it didn’t need a million tracks,” says Haas, who also wrote second single “I’m A Couch,” which he describes as “the most proud I’ve been of a song that I’ve written. It may initially come off as a silly tune due to the title, but it’s actually a heartfelt and honest account about the struggles that come with losing a loved one.” Lead single “13 Days,” written by bassist Jackson Thompson, tackles the indecision that comes at life’s biggest crossroads, with a harmonized hook and triumphant guitar solo designed to leave optimism even without resolution.
Underground Springhouse have played over 100 shows a year since their 2021 debut, and that relentless road commitment shows in how naturally this band communicates on record. Live tracking kept the sessions spontaneous and conversational, the same quality fans of their live show have always come to expect. ‘A Noise Without A Name’ is out May 1. Limited edition vinyl pre-orders are available now.
