Lesser Care – Underneath, Beside Me [Bertha Blue Vinyl LP, A La Carte Records, 2022]

Product Description:

A sweeping, atmospheric journey into modern melancholia, Lesser Care's debut LP Underneath, Beside Me channels the spirit of the post-punk greats while standing confidently in its own shadowy lane. Pressed on translucent blue vinyl and released via A La Carte Records, this limited edition is a must-have for collectors and fans of revivalist darkwave.

Hailing from El Paso, Texas, Lesser Care draws clear inspiration from bands like The Cure, Joy Division, and Soft Kill, but twists those influences into something distinctly now. The album is packed with danceable post-punk anthems, aching vocals, and reverb-drenched guitars, delivering emotional weight with a kinetic pulse.

Tracks like “Mea Culpa” and “Vows” toe the line between gloom and groove, while the dreamy “Empty Nest” offers shimmering textures that beg to be played loud in a dimly lit room. It’s an album that turns bleakness into beauty, anxiety into catharsis, and solitude into shared experience.

Product Review (Store Voice):

“Underneath, Beside Me is a shimmering beacon for those who like their post-punk with a pulse. Lesser Care captures the danceable gloom of The Cure and the stark honesty of Joy Division but delivers it with emotional urgency. The blue vinyl pressing sounds lush and expansive—perfect for late-night listens or moody mornings. It’s one of the most exciting darkwave debuts in years, and it’s already turning heads in underground circles. FFO Soft Kill to Cold Cave, this band could be your next obsession.”
