Super Paradise - Quençebo (CD)

Release Date: 11/18/16

Anthemic noise-pop debut mini-album from London by-way-of Milan / RIYL: American Culture, Gold-Bears

Originally from Milan, Italy but now based in London, this is the first outing for the enigmatic Super Paradise. The album starts off with the infectious 'The F.C.', a great opener, if there ever was one, with its classic synth arpeggios and driving rhythm, that propels it forward for an exciting three minutes. From there, we have the one-two punch of 'Ties' and 'Dawn', a pair of anthemic noise-pop hits that actually remind me a lot of Jigsaw's own American Culture. After a brief interstitial piece, we're treated to a guitar-based version of LCD Soundsystem's 'All My Friends' (not knowing the original, I checked it out, and can safely say that Super Paradise have very much made it their own!), followed by a couple more noise-pop tunes, finally closing out with 'Tonight', a slow-building mini-epic. Barely over 20 minutes in length, you'll have no problem hitting repeat on this rousing mini-album!
