Supercaan are a band that feature a whole host of identities with members coming from London, Birmingham, North Shields and Denbighshire, Wales. Originally starting out as a trio, all the way back in 2003, it wasn’t until 2013 that they formed under the Supercaan umbrella. Whilst they’ve got a fantastic sound, they’re also trying to provide solace and answers in a time of uncertainty for many.
Their latest single “Zoetrope” is thundering new single by Supercaan. Drums smash through the mix, reverberating energy around the track. Guitars are soaked in distortion and cut through perfectly, creating a colourful melting pot of melodies when mixed with synths. On top lies Greg Milner’s vocals, softly-penned but infectious and impactful, working hand in glove with the rest of the track.
Speaking further about the track, they reveal: “Techno flavoured post punk – ‘Zoetrope’ is a sharp observation on the double standards of the people in the top echelons of society who “get to set the rules” but “play by different rules”. A track built “brick by brick”, with each band member recording their parts remotely, Six By Seven’s lead singer and the band’s “hero” Chris Olley adds another dimension to ‘Zoetrope’ in a remixed version of the song.”
The second album ‘A Tiger Walks the Streets,’ is due for release soon, and it’s one to keep your eye on for sure. As Supercaan enters a new era, the album is said to offer perspective in a time that has left so many of us jaded. Supercaan play the West Hampstead Arts Club on the 27th October and Birmingham’s Hare and Hounds on the 29th October, and it’s not one to miss.
