Systems Officer is the solo guise of Armistead Burwell Smith IV, the multi-instrumentalist songwriter and founding member of Pinback and Three Mile Pilot. Written and recorded between breaks in the Pinback recording and touring schedule, Underslept is five years in the making, a concise collection of thoughtful, complex pop songs.
