Superfood are the sort of quirky little band that you find by accident while trawling through spotify recommendations, or that you stumbled across in summer at one of their many festival appearances.
The band draw you in with their sleazy tracks and blasé attitude, and suddenly you’ll find yourself 2 EP’s deep in good-mood inducing music. The work we’ve had so far from Superfood has been that classic indie-band type of charming. The appeal of this band is their mismatch of sounds; a somewhat calm-chaos of drumbeats and disorderly guitars.
If you thought you were familiar with Superfood’s kind-of-weird, kind-of-brilliant sound: think again. What was once four naive and honest sounding twenty somethings, adding effect pedals to bass guitars and unconventional lyrics, is now incredibly dreamy new track ‘Double Dutch.’
Glossy vocals floating on smooth guitar riffs and a baseline so distorted it might as well be synth – Superfood’s latest has shied away from their Sundara Karma/Jaws-esque feel, and headed down a more Glass Animals route. You have to hand it to them, the result is as polished as anything else they’ve produced. Albeit the tone has been changed slightly, but Superfood were always a little bit different – why shouldn’t they revamp their sound?
