Southern California duo UNTER STRØM ends their new EP Between Forms with “Stumbling,” a track that leans into vulnerability and atmosphere while keeping a club-ready rhythmic core.
“Stumbling” is the final track on the EP Between Forms and shifts the project toward a more spacious, emotionally open sound.
The duo—Alex Gonzales and John Kunkel—blend techno, melodic house, industrial textures, and darker electronic elements across the EP.
Between Forms presents four distinct pieces (“Orynth,” “Fold,” “Fragment,” “Stumbling”) that map a project still exploring its boundaries.
# What the release is
UNTER STRØM, a Southern California electronic duo formed by Alex Gonzales (Matte Blvck) and John Kunkel (The New Division and John Grand), has released an EP called Between Forms. The four-track collection closes with the single "Stumbling," described as the most enthralling and emotionally exposed piece on the record.
# How "Stumbling" sounds
The overall feel is simultaneously spacious and visceral: the production leaves air around the sounds, allowing small details to register, while rhythmic elements keep the track grounded in movement.
# How the track came together
According to the account of the session, "Stumbling" formed quickly. An arpeggio sparked a rhythm, and much of the track was captured within hours. The duo expected to revisit it for further development but largely did not, and the track's initially unfinished quality revealed itself as complete in its own imperfect way. Mixer Aaron Short preserved those original characteristics and opened sonic room for the piece in his mix.
# Where it sits on Between Forms
Between Forms contains four tracks: "Orynth," "Fold," "Fragment," and "Stumbling." Each explores different configurations of darkness and openness, tension and release, rhythm and atmosphere. Rather than presenting a single formula, the EP maps a project still figuring out its contours. "Stumbling" functions as the EP's closing statement: it presents UNTER STRØM at their most expansive and emotionally exposed while keeping the rhythmic backbone that links them to club contexts.
