Supergenius stream 'Supertired' in full ahead of release

SUPERGENIUS are streaming their debut full length, Supertired ahead of its release this Friday.

Of the impending release, vocalist, Edward Godby comments: “It feels like a really long time since we finished tracking the record last August and I’m stoked for it to finally be hitting the shelves! Can’t wait to play some gigs too! Get yourself a copy and get ready for it to be your album of the summer!”

SUPERGENIUS is a Belgian-based four piece, who draw influence from indie and punk bands spanning the last three decades of alternative music. Comprising of four middle aged white men, each teetering on the edge of a mid-life crisis, and with an eclectic collective back catalogue between them, SUPERGENIUS have been meeting monthly for the past two and a half years to collaborate and create. Staving off the purchase of motorbikes a little longer, in December 2014 the band released a 4-track EP which coincided with their live debut. Markedly different to the output of their other bands - Oathbreaker, Wiegedood, Rise and Fall, Beecher - SUPERGENIUS delves into the musical pool that shaped these guys' record collections and musical outlook.

Fans of related bands may have their interest piqued by SUPERGENIUS; they are warned against expecting anything particularly similar, but encouraged to explore the component parts that have led these gentlemen down this sonic pathway.

"I guess the lyrics are about self reflection, about everyday things and also some not-so everyday things," explains vocalist, Edward Godby, "And in terms of singing, well, I'm not angry enough about anything to shout my head off, and too old to pretend, even for a minute, that I am."

Whilst SUPERGENIUS are not likely to be winning accolades for being dangerous and edgy, there is still a distinct passion and energy contained within Supertired. Although far from being cathartic or abrasive, it is resolutely something the band felt compelled to create.

Super tired was recorded by Hein Devos and SUPERGENIUS at De Kreun, Kortrijk, Belgium, and mixed by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden, San Francisco, California, USA, before being mastered by Lewis Johns at The Ranch, Southampton, England.
