"This trio comprised of New York City heavyweights Tim Dahl and Trevor Dunn, both manning subcontrabass viols within the composition and conducting of drummer-singer Nandor Nevai, form the fifth iteration of the _ ("UNDRSKOR") project which began in the mid-90s but was last seen in mid-90s Miami featuring Rat Bastard and Dan Hosker (HARRY PUSSY) on violin and cello.
The first of two albums recorded by this latest trio in December 2021, this album champions a novel fusion-idiom referred to as 'Neauxtheque' which may be said to invoke "Danger Classical", the Martial Pop subgenre of Industrial and the virtuosic demands of Technical Death Metal while defying a complete comparison with these. The overarching quality is a militant Occult Rock the rattles its sabers thru pristine sub-bass counterpoint and an ominous libretto sung in German, some of it backwards. Refined yet Feral, Threatening yet Beneficial."-Psykomanteum

Clifford Allen of Tiny Mixtapes' wrote "Tim Dahl [...] approaches his well-worn axe with a battery of pedals and loops, combining determinate speed with murkier sonics to create a landscape not unlike a harsh, speed-freak variant on Hugh Hopper." Dahl currently lives in Brooklyn and is an active member in the music scene there." ^ Hide Bio for Tim Dahl • Show Bio for Trevor Dunn "About Trevor Dunn 1968: born traversing a fine line between hippies and rednecks behind the redwood curtain. first musical affinities: the beach boys, blondie, cheap trick, kiss. first television: ultraman, speedracer, bugs bunny. first films: over the edge, the mouse and his child, snoopy come home, bedknobs & broomsticks. first books: zylpha keatly snyder's witches of worm, the velvet room and the headless cupid. 1977: began studies on clarinet 1981: began studies on electric bass and subsequently quit the clarinet as i realized that girls would now talk to me. 1986: the same year that Lynch's blue velvet and Slayer's reign in blood were released, graduated from EHS. the school's motto: "pigs live in litter, loggers live in pride". started a band called Mr. Bungle. then i got a job at shakey's pizza. began classical technique studies on the contrabass. 1990: graduated from humboldt state university after studying the likes of harry partch, iannis xenakis, alban berg, igor stravinksy, gustav mahler, js bach, you know, all the cats. Also performed Koussevitsky's Concerto for Double Bass with the HSO. 1992: first Mr. Bungle record released on Warner Bros. Moved to SF and two months later embarked on the first MB tour of the US. At the age of 24 I was one of the oldest people in the van. For the next eight years played lots of weddings and restaurants between tours with MB.
