The Underling is the debut EP of Cleric, released independently in 2003. It was recorded for $200 at Bowling Otter Recordings by Matt Buckley. Mixing was never completed because the hard drive containing the album failed, leaving the album unfinished. In celebration of the three-year anniversary of their 2010 debut album, the band remastered The Underling in 2013 and uploaded the music to Bandcamp.
