James Supercave's New EP The Afternoon Out Today
Streaming Now Via SoundCloud
Los Angeles based band James Supercave have a new four-song EP out today titled The Afternoon, via Hit City U.S.A. The Afternoon is the LA quintet's first official release. The band's production is engrossing with a sultry delivery, a hybrid of guitar solos and analogue synths, like finding David Bowie locked into a groove above J-Dilla beats. As themes run the gamut with a casually apocalyptic smirk and cool, quick wit, the songs escalate naturally to epic scales, impressive and moving. The Afternoon EP is streaming right now over at SoundCloud. Please feel free to share and post this public stream, and purchase the EP at the links below:
You can get a taste of the EP by watching the inventive and charming video of song "Old Robot" or listening to much buzzed-about song "The Right Thing" at the links below:
"The Right Thing" has gotten a ton of acclaim on the blogosphere, with Buzzbands LA calling it "a compositionally dextrous thrill ride of indie rock and electro sprinkled with a little bit of Ziggy's stardust and Pastor's don't-try-this-at-home falsetto. Finally, some art-rockers that live up to the name art-rockers." Impose Magazine said "This is that progressive, big time sweeping rock sound that your dad always told you, and swore up and down that folks these days never understand." KCRW's Jason Bentley listed the band as one of the top '5 LA Musicians to watch in 2014' after a demo leaked onto local airwaves.
The band will be supporting the release of The Afternoon with a run of spring tour dates with Warpaint. For the full itinerary, please see below.
