Albums Of The Week: Superheaven | Superheaven

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:Superheaven not only rely, but also thrive on the interplay of their four members — Jake Clarke (lead vocals, guitar), Taylor Madison (lead vocals, guitar), Joe Kane (bass) and Zack Robbins (drums).

The music unfolds like an unspoken conversation between the respective players (and old friends), revolving around post-hardcore grit, full-bodied and fuzzed-out distortion, and hazy alternative melodies. Muscular riffs make indentations in a perpetually droning soundscape, fissuring into fits of catchy catharsis and hypnotic jamming without rival.

Following a series of independent releases, the Pennsylvania group unveiled Jar during 2013. At the time, it slowly but surely built a foundation for the band. The musicians leveled up with 2015’s Ours Is Chrome. The latter boasted the likes of Poor Aileen, which gathered 25 million streams.

Ten years after the initial release of Jar, the record unassumingly took on a life of its own thanks to fan rediscovery — Youngest Daughter surged on social media and eventually garnered over 128 million streams, followed by In On It with 22 million streams and Life In A Jar with 8 million streams. Superheaven’s longstanding sonic and spiritual union underscores the band’s third full-length (and first self-titled) offering.”
