Super Low — Super Low (June 28, 2019)
•• Bluff City fans of melodic pop songs with jangly guitars, ear~worm hooks, and layers of piano, strings, and piano have new reason to rejoice: Memphis~based Super Low will release their self~titled debut album at B~Side inside Minglewood Hall on Friday, July 12th.
•• Formerly China Gate, Super Low has undergone a name change and some lineup shifts, but the core of the band remains. Singer/guitarist Tiger Adams leads the band, with support from drummer John Lewandowski, bassist Conner Booth, and a rotating cast of additional musicians. It should be noted, also, that Adams’ Super Low is not to be confused with fellow Bluff City band, Super~Lo, which includes members of the now-legendary Memphis punk outfit The Klitz.
•• In advance of the upcoming album release show, Super Low has debuted two singles from the upcoming album, “Unlimited Data” and “Runners Up.” The singles are sunny and warm, with bright guitars and impeccable arrangements highlighting the band’s penchant for instrumental hooks — like the catchy organ fill in “Runners Up.”
•• “Unlimited Data” is manna from heaven for listeners who appreciate layers upon layers of clean electric and acoustic guitars. Think Scottish indie rockers Camera Obscura, but with a Southern man in glasses and baseball cap behind the microphone instead of Camera Obscura’s Tracyanne Campbell. Another comparison that comes to mind is French garage~pop wunderkind En Attendant Ana, the undisputed break~out stars of Gonerfest 15. As with En Attendant Ana and Camera Obscura, on Super Low, the rhythms are up~tempo, the melodies are memorable, and the layers of guitar are seemingly unending. Put simply, this is pop done right.

¬••¬ Previously known as China Gate, Super Low is now comprised of vocalist/guitarist Tiger Adams, drummer John Lewandowski and bassist Conner Booth, with a number of other musicians on stage during live performances. Super Low have reshaped their artist image alongside the name change to set the tone for their first releases under the new moniker. Super Low, the self~titled album is set to be released, Friday, July 12th. The band has already released two impressive singles from the upcoming album, “Runners UP” and “Unlimited Data,” in advance of the much anticipated release date. Indie Band Guru was able to fall in love with this album and now we are able to premiere it to you before it’s release tomorrow!
¬••¬ Super Low’s music is in the vein of The Cure and The Shins, with more upbeat pop tones mixed into the alternative~indie flavor. This album reels listeners in right at the beginning of the first track and keeps us hooked the entire way through. With captivating lyrics and instrumentals that meld fluidly to the vocals, this album is sure to be your playlist for the summer. The songs are catchy and upbeat, each track paving the way beautifully for the next. There is a character that is unique to every piece within the album that proves how each member played a critical role in bringing creative ideas to make Super Low come together. Adams’ vocals immediately capture the hearts of fans, and the guitar and drums set an infectious tempo for each song that make dancing along irresistible. ¬••¬ https://indiebandguru.com/
