Boneyard AKA Fearmonger

Boneyard AKA Fearmonger is the fifth extended play (EP) by the American musician Underscores, self-released on December 3, 2021. After her debut album Fishmonger garnered attention from high-profile musicians in March 2021, Underscores began working on its companion. She challenged herself to have a firm idea for each song before using a production program and would discard any failed attempts. Boneyard AKA Fearmonger is a hyperpop and pop-punk EP that ranges from acoustic ballads to electronic dance music. The EP's lyrics are introspective and explore existential struggles. The EP was promoted with three singles: "Gunk", "Everybody's Dead!", and "Tongue in Cheek". The EP received positive reception from publications; The Atlantic and The Fader deemed "Tongue in Cheek" a standout track, and the former considered the EP an improvement over Fishmonger. The EP gained Underscores a larger fanbase.
