Superorganism - World Wide Pop (2022) [Hi-Res]

When the first Superorganism music surfaced in 2017, the group's in-your-face aesthetic - a post-everything mishmash of psychedelic indie pop and fizzy, funky electronica - quickly began to resonate with the likes of Frank Ocean, Vampire Weekend, Jehnny Beth, Gorillaz as well as finding them legions of fans across the world. Now, Superorganism announce their eagerly awaited return and their second album; entitled 'World Wide Pop'. Superorganism have mutated and are now based around the core of Orono, Harry, Tucan, B and Soul but 'World Wide Pop' also brings in an international set of collaborators including Stephen Malkmus, CHAI, Pi Ja Ma, Dylan Cartlidge as well as legendary musician and actor Gen Hoshino. Blasting back with thirteen tracks that strike a balance between artifice and earnestness, between sci-fi silliness and existential intensity, the album is a showcase for Superorganism's newly deepened understanding of each other's interests and impulses, the kind of creative convergence you'd expect when online friends start spending time together IRL (their debut was completed before the whole band had ever been in the same room at the same time).
