On this day September 4 1989, Underworld released their second album Change the Weather. This album continued the band’s journey through synth driven alternative rock, blending electronic textures with accessible pop melodies. It featured a darker tone than their debut while still offering catchy hooks and atmospheric depth.
The title track received some MTV rotation and modest chart success, helping to introduce Underworld to a broader audience before their shift into the electronic dance world of the 1990s. For fans of late decade synth rock and moody production, this album was an underrated gem in the post new wave landscape.
80s insight: The original lineup of Underworld during this release was quite different from the duo that later gained fame with Born Slippy in the 1990s.
