Superhumanoids- "Geri"

New Tracksadmin1 Comment

The release of this track marks the announcement of the debut Superhumanoids album. Yes! The title: Exhibitionists. Ooooo.

After the release of its debut EP, I've been dying to hear this band take its blend of pop, indie rock, and synth pop to a full-length album.

If "Geri" is any sign of what's to come, I think I'm gonna be in for a treat. Pulsating synths and new wave drum fills keep the rhythm going as male and female vocals trade spaces in the spotlight. The hook is incredibly polished, and the vocal melody over it reminds me a little of a tune or two from the Postal Service's Give Up.

Looking forward to what Superhumanoids have to offer.

Superhumanoids- "Mikelah"

MP3

Hot of the release of two EPs in the past year, L.A.'s Superhumanoids have a new 7" record out on White Iris.

"Mikelah" is a slow-burning electronic jam with a hazy melody capturing that current mid-summer feel. The distant male vocals of the verse's are counterbalanced by a lofty female vocal in the chorus, but the best part is when the two voices come together in harmony at the end.

By the time it's over, it feels a little anticlimactic. There's a lot of buildup, but not much catharsis to this tune. Still, "Mikelah" is a worthwhile song for a hot Summer night.
