Livin' Underground

from No More Chasing by Abi Moore

/

about

The first single released from the new album, Livin’ Underground, immediately declares Abi’s position for the whole record: she’s back with a bang and proudly doing her own, new thing, whether you like it or not.

‘No More Chasing’ is both the album’s title and opening lyrics, and the exciting production on this raucous, DIY ‘stomp and holler’ sonic feast reveals something new with each listen.
Primal handclaps and defiant lyrics like “I’m not gonna bust my gut for the scraps they leave for me” dish out bags of attitude, bold self-assuredness and an acceptance of identity. We’re launched into a swamp of distorted electric guitars, driving stomp rhythms and punchy vocal harmonies, making an addictive and curious blend of garage-rock and swung, rootsy rockabilly, landing like a co-write between Rhiannon Giddens and Jack White.

"Her stripped back, stomp and holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her styling and rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour. Impactful, gritty, and above all, brimming with conviction." RIGHT CHORD MUSIC

lyrics

No more chasing
The world can come to me
Cos I’m not gonna bust my gut for the scraps they leave for me

I’m slowin’ down
If you want me now
I’m livin’ underground

No more wasting
All my precious time
Cos I’m not gonna break my back for anyone’s good but mine

I’m slowin’ down
So if you want me now
I’m livin’ underground
Underground
Way way down
Underground

No more racing
Cos everyone moves too fast
I’m just gonna take my time cos I build my shit to last

I’m slowin’ down
If you want me now
I’m livin’ underground
Underground
Way way down
Underground

No replacing
The original and the best
Cos I was made to do my thing and let the other people do the rest

I’m slowin’ down
If you want me now
I’m livin’ underground
(I’m livin) Underground
(I’m livin) Way way down
(I’m livin) Underground

Well, I don’t wanna be part of your scene
And I don’t wanna be on no-one’s team
I got my own thing going on
So let it be known...

There’ll be no more chasing
The world can come to me
If anybody needs me
Let me tell you where I’ll be...

I’m slowin’ down
If you want me now
I’m goin’ down
Real low down
That’s where I’ll be found
Homeward bound
I’m livin’ underground
