Superorganism are a self-sustained group of DIY creatives based together in a London house. Each bedroom acts as a base for an essential element of the band; mixing, recording, visual effects and rehearsal space is tightly squeezed into an East End terraced house.
The wonky, confident opener ‘It’s All Good’ gives us an early taste of the interesting but somewhat distracting production of the record. Shown on tracks ‘SPRORGNSM’ and ‘The Prawn Song’ – never going more than 10 seconds before layering in a soundbite of a cash-register or narration from a robot voice. It’s wacky, fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously, especially on self-aware pop banger ‘Everybody Wants to Be Famous’.
Sailing through 10 solid tracks brimming with ocean soundscapes, heavy bass synths and interesting samples, bursting the boring bubble of indie-pop by creating something fun enough to keep you just about interested throughout, but nothing ground-breaking enough to leave you begging for more.
