Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

New Music: Deadpan Darling - Deadpan Darling

 


Here's a slightly late post for a slightly old release of a very old album! 

I'm sure most of the crew here is familiar with Deadpan Darling - a trio consisting of Ceschi and Blue Sky Black Death that originated in 2005. The trio recorded an album and the demos floated around online for years. Unfortunately, due to time, money, and lost data - the album never officially dropped. Until now.

The self-titled album has been mixed and mastered (and re-recorded when needed) into a really beautiful body of work. For those who enjoy dream-pop with a dash of indie rap (exactly what you'd expect between a Ceschi and BSBD collabo) - you couldn't get a more perfect album than this (my favorite of the year thus far.) The lyrics and melodies hit hard here, even for those of us who have rocked with the demos all these years.

Do yourself a favor and stream this if you haven't yet - and re-stream it if you have - below. Then DL it for free! Physicals coming this Fall.
