Undercurrents collects eight oddly dissimilar pieces that somehow fit together perfectly. Although unique enough to be called an outsider, Young’s new album occupies a musical world accessible to fans of many genres.

Undercurrents displays the wide range of Young’s various sonic pallets: similar to his 1981 album Recurring Dreams, the electronic landscapes meander coherently, and much like Traveler's Advisory (1986), the album skews from the nearly algorithmic computer music of side one to the moving pastoral folk of the second.
