Superbloom - Life's a Blur

Feverish and raw, and with an instantly memorable punch, Brooklyn’s latest grunge rock phenomenon is a group of four guys making the songs that they want to hear. That means searing, overdriven guitars and thrashing drums; heavy, hearty riffs full of fire and flavor; and impassioned, driving vocal melodies that get stuck in your head for weeks on end.

Superbloom’s new EP Life’s a Blur is music you can feel in your gut: A conscious progression from Pollen, its songs have a harder edge and an undeniable, ever-present weight. Superbloom reach greater depths of sound through dynamic, varied songs and interludes that range from ethereal to manic, all while retaining those signature hooks, dreamy tones, and infectious bouncy rhythms that made their debut so irresistible. Recorded by Brian DiMeglio at Brooklyn Recording Paradise and mixed/mastered by Zach Tuch, these new songs showcase an expansion into new sonic dimensions and dynamics as Superbloom find themselves in both roaring, heated high-octane songs like “Pig” and “Head First,” as well as the peeled-back, cinematic, and pop-leaning standout, “Tiny Bodyguard.”

A hard-hitting band with an unapologetic sound, Superbloom is a success story to never give up on your dreams, and they have a lot more in store as they step into a bold new era. “I’d be lying if I said we planned to throw away the playbook for the EP, but I’m glad we did, because everything cool and unfamiliar mushroomed from there — on and off stage,” Dave Hoon says. “Pollen is in the rearview and I’m hungry for what’s next.”
“A dense and chunky rock song that goes full-fledged pop on the chorus. Nice guitar harmonics in there, too.”- Stereogum
