The Underling is an EP of Cleric, released independently in 2003.{{cite web |first= |last= |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=mn0002419764|pure_url=yes}}|title=Cleric |publisher=Allmusic |date= |accessdate=January 13, 2016}} 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.{{cite journal |first=Philip |last=Montoro |url=http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/cleric-regressions-review-web-of-mimicry/Content?oid=1743712&storyPage=2 |title=Waiting for the Cut |journal=Chicago Reader |publisher=Wrapports LLC |date=April 29, 2010 |page=2 |accessdate=January 13, 2016}}
