[1] . [2] [3] Shortly after Corl left the band in 2015, Nestor formed a live version of the band with bassist Rich Marcinek and percussionist Chris Shelley. In 2015, drummer Jamaal Turner joined the group and has appeared on all subsequent releases. Also In 2015, Underlined Passages joined Mint 400 Records and between 2015 and 2017 released three records with the label while touring as a live act. [4]

In September 2017, Underlined Passages released their third album Tandi My Dicafi. [8] [9] [10] The single "Silverlake" is a reference to Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California, an area that inspired Nestor and Turner during the writing and production. Nestor and Turner cite the music of Flying Nun Records as inspiration for the record. In early 2018, Tandi My Dicafi was released in limited edition vinyl, with bonus tracks "We Lost The Sea (Coda)" and "Interregnum," in conjunction with a tour of the East Coast of the United States.

The band released their fifth full-length record, Landfill Indie in November 2024 (after 2022's Neon Inoculation). [12] [13] Described as a protest record [14] against the term "landfill indie" used by a 2020 Vice article, [15] the band was named to lineup the 2025 Let's Go Music Festival. [16]
