Bristol-based noise-pop three-piece Superlove have released their highly-anticipated new album follow:noise via Rude Records. Featuring their riotous previous singles “GO!”, “Something Good” and “Overdrive”, the new record arrives with a brand-new video for new track “Overdrive” – watch here which has appeared on DSP playlists such as “New Music Friday”, “The Locker”, “Misfits 2.0” and more. Fans can order and stream the new record here.
Coinciding with today’s album release, Superlove will play Manchester on Saturday before tearing it up in Birmingham, Southampton and London next week. Tickets are on sale now.
On the new album, Superlove shares, “We’ve realised a lot over the last year since the release of
our debut album. We discovered what we wanted to lean our sound more towards and to really
focus on the basic elements and fully utilise every instrument.”
Speaking on Overdrive, lead vocalist and bassist Jacob Rice says “Overdrive’ is about how with our generation; everything has to be 100%. You go on Tik Tok and everything’s in your face all the time, and every time you’re on your phone you can’t avoid it. We are living with no plan of action, and our generation is going through it right now. Will I be able to ever buy a house? Will I be able to ever do the things that the older generations have done? The older generations had this plan for life, where you would get married, say your vows, buy a house, and have kids, but now everything’s so expensive. Our generation has had to loosen up a bit. If I get to own a house, that’s great, but if I don’t, I’ll make something else work”.
Unveiling the vibrant hues of their distinctive brand of noise-pop on 2022 debut album ‘Colours’,
Superlove are a band focused on innovation.Marrying infectious pop hooks with brain-melting
riffs and electronic influences, the Bristol trio’s first full-length release ventured into countless
musical territories, transcending boundaries, and sitting outside of all boxes. Inspired by the
dynamic genre-blurring tendencies of Enter Shikari and the driving rock energy of Lower Than
Atlantis, since their formation in 2018 Superlove have been working feverishly towards something
big, and in the summer of 2022 -they had an epiphany.
“When we played 2000 Trees last year, we played ‘Save Yourselves’ last which is a huge guitar
song,” vocalist / bassist Jacob Rice explains. “We realised that the people who come to our shows
want to hear riffs and big choruses. There are people who appreciate the electronic stuff that we
did on ‘Colours’, and it’s cool to have that up our sleeve, but what’s more fun than a big bouncy
riff? Looking out and seeing a mosh pit with people jumping around, it felt right.”
Superlove approached the creation of “follow:noise” differently from their debut album and it led to a self-discovery for the band as they doubled-down on their self-determined “noise-pop” label. “We discovered a lot about the sound behind Superlove and what makes us the band we are and when we’re at our best, we wanted to challenge ourselves to use less virtual instruments this time round and put the focus back into guitar. Lyrically the album tackles subjects such as reassurance, dependency and mental health.”
Rooted in sheer fun and authenticity, Superlove are catapulting into a new era of boundless
creative joy, kickstarting with a headline tour this summer. Playing their songs in sweaty venues
to roomfuls of people singing and moshing along, the trio have found their place – and now
they’re ready to make it their own. “To summarise: follow:noise is Superlove at our most realised and our most fully focused on a “Noise-pop” sound through and through.”
