Writing about Pale King in 2022, Atwood Magazine's Mitch Mosk said,\ of Under the Rug 'The group’s pop sensibilities, mixed with an undeniable alt rock ethos, lends their music an undeniably catchy spark – as well as a bit of an edge.
Following the release of their 2019 EP Too Far Away, the trio delivered their first full-length album in that year's Pale King, which was then followed by 2022's Dear Adeline and this year's Homesick for Another World, with all of Under the Rug's albums eliciting raves from music critics. Touring in support of their 2023 album Homesick for Another World, a recording that Americana UK said 'treats everyday loneliness with compassion and a little humour and is shot through with elements of optimism,' the indie rockers of Under the Rug headline a November 19 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artists also lauded by Music Connection Magazine as 'masterful in their delicious use of space and tension.'Ī brainchild of vocalist Casey Dayan, guitarist Sean Campbell, and drummer Brendan McQueeney, Under the Rug originally formed during the trio's California college days, and what started as a co-ed band blossomed into a full time career in music.
