It’s not about creating this century’s musical revolution – only about imagining truly original variations for some of today’s indie scene’s most familiar themes. Once Superhumanoids are done recycling their favourite patterns of the last few decades’ catalogue, what you’re left with is ethereal garage, synthpop with a zest of deep bass, sun-kissed new wave, or for sure the most unexpected cover of The Ramones’ ‘I Wanna Be Sedated’, which, if it weren’t for the lyrics, you definitely would NOT recognise. As many improbablities as they have on their track record, the world in which they blossom is a cotton-coated dreamy bubble, in which any crazy idea lodges itself as comfortably as could do. Not many rules apply here – but one thing’s sure, Superhumanoids are unlikely to be dishing out chaotic nonsense. They know what they’re doing. You can see them every Monday throughout the month of October at The Echo, the next show being on October 8th, with locals Mr Little Jeans and Brooklyn’s Carousel.
