Code Orange drop surprise companion album to 2020’s Underneath

As promised in this week’s exclusive Kerrang! Cover Story, the mighty Code Orange are back with a surprise album… with a twist.

The band have shared a 14-song companion piece to 2020’s Underneath album, describing this new record – entitled What Is Really Underneath? – as ‘part-remix, part-soundtrack’.

If that’s not enough there’s also an accompanying short film, helmed by Code Orange’s Eric ‘Shade’ Balderose, and scored by various parts of What Is Really Underneath?.

Speaking to K! about the purpose behind this companion album, frontman Jami Morgan explains: “I think it’s important to show people different corners of what it is that we do. We didn’t want to do a remix record in the sense of anyone else remixing our stuff – even though there’s a lot of amazing people out there. We wanted it to be a soundtrack to the record. Listening to this can kind of inform that world and the character ideas we were putting down in our art.”
