ALESSI JOINS SUPER FAN FOR RELEASE OF NEW SINGLE 'WIVES' OUT 13.01.17

PRE-ORDER: http://superfan99.bigcartel.com/product/alessi-wives-8-lathe-cut-vinyl

And so another 12 months has passed at Super Fan 99 and we're closing out the year with a release which is a little special for us. Londoner Alessi Laurent Marke is an artist we've been a fan of and followed for some years so when the chance arrived to work with her we didn't hesitate. We are delighted to be releasing her new single 'Wives' ahead of a new full length which is set to be released early next year. 

Her cosy folk pop has evolved over the years from it's humble bedroom beginnings and these days has more in common with Cocteau Twins or Charlotte Gainsbourg than the somewhat lazy Joanna Newsom comparisons of old. From uploading home recordings to Myspace to working with Bright Eyes in Nebraska and touring with Jenny Lewis and M.Ward it's been a long and winding road for Alessi which has no doubt shaped her songs. Wives sounds like a very British tale being told in a California desert setting. It's a beautifully produced and expertly executed taster from the new record which will no doubt excite fans both old and new.

Wives will be backed by another new album track 'DLD' and will be released on 8" lathe cut vinyl. As always each copy is hand cut by our friends in Tuscon Arizona and will be limited to one copy per household with only 40 available worldwide. Keep your eyes peeled for pre-order and an eerie video directed by our cousins at £100 Pop Vids.

"The understated arrangements suggest you're listening to a woman with impeccable taste" MOJO

"Singing like a cross between Hope Sandoval and Bjork, Laurent-Marke has made a record of deceptive simplicity" BBC

"It takes several plays to appreciate all the small touches that make each delicate piece" THE GUARDIAN

"The old school songwriting and airy, summery production will leave you utterly spellbound" CLASH

INTRODUCING ROOFTOP GARDENS
LATE 70s INDEBTED MELODIC POWER-POP LUSHENESS
DEBUT SINGLE ‘CIRCLES’ OUT 28.01.20 ON SUPER FAN 99

Rooftop Gardens transports us to a time of 8-track players, flared jeans, AM Radio and Creem magazine. The perfect backdrop to a lazy 70s California afternoon daydreaming of your high school crush. In fact, lead track ‘Circles’ wouldn’t feel at all out of place sound tracking Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused. Swirling guitar parts bring to mind Chris Bell Big Star while the forlorn vocal could be Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub making this a must for all power-pop fans. 

Originally from the Bay Area, Peter Maffei AKA Rooftop Gardens now lives in LA. As a gun for hire he has lent his guitar talents to Sugar Candy Mountain, Pearl Charles and The Blank Tapes among others. He currently plays in Cosmo Gold and is the USA half of transatlantic duo Born Fighters. 

Circles is backed by the equally heartfelt ‘Never Let Me Go’ which features a slide line straight out of George Harrisons pocket. Rooftop Gardens sits comfortably with the Super Fan back catalogue and we can’t wait to hear more later this year. The single is released digitally worldwide on 28.02.20.

POWER POP FOR SENSITIVE SOULS
‘SHADOW’ THE SECOND SINGLE FROM TRANSATLANTIC DUO
OUT 08.04.20 ON SUPER FAN 99

Lyric Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFz4_Vnl5d0

Luke is from London and Peter is from California. Not so long ago the pair were strangers but through a shared love of 70s music, vintage guitars and their pets (Denny the cat and George the dog respectively) the universe brought them together in 2019. The two quickly became best of mates making light work of the 5000 miles that separated them. They describe the project as a “transatlantic power pop postal service” sending demos back and forth over the net and chipping away at song ideas from a distance. As you can imagine, organising a band practice is a little different than for most bands but not to be deterred they return this month with a follow up to debut ‘Little Green Tree’ titled ‘Shadow’. Lead vocal duties are shared on this bittersweet kicker which ruminates on the idea of trying to reclaim one’s identity post break-up. 

Who knows if an album will ever materialise but for now the project is something of an open book/sweet left hook which the two plan to work on whenever in the same country whether that be England or the USA. 

The somewhat ironically named band are Peter Maffei and Luke Barham. Mike Deluccia once again joins on drums and the session was engineered and mixed by Neil Wogensen in Highland Park, L.A. Art as always by the ace Shaun Miller and photography by Brittany Matyas.

“Charming and warming, filled with catchy hooks and dreamy sonics” Far Out Magazine

"The spirit of ’70s guitar geekery flourishes, a jangling, hooky, post-breakup song" Buzz Bands LA

“Somewhere between Conor Oberst’s solo material and early Oasis B-sides”  Spectral Nights

BOMBAY

MOVIE COMPOSER, SUPER PRODUCER AND ALL ROUND MELODIC GENIUS CELEBRATED WITH NEW COVERS ALBUM. OUT 22.05.

PRE-ORDER MINIDISC & DOWNLOAD

WATCH THE TRAILER www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HIeBgrE6-4

It is possible that Jon Brion is the most famous artist you’ve heard but never heard of. His productions, songs and scores have been unavoidable over the past 25 years yet he is still somewhat invisible to the world. It’s hard to know where to start when summing up this genius. Yes, genius is a word that gets falsely banded around but this guy is truly a gift and for that reason we felt an urge to shine a spotlight on his work with artists from around the world covering his songs.

Where to begin…

Firstly, describing best what role Jon plays in the world of music is tricky. He is perhaps best known as a film score composer with his best loved works being Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Punch-Drunk Love, I Heart Huckabees and more recently Lady Bird. As a producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist he has worked with artists as varied as Kanye West, Elliott Smith, Frank Ocean, Best Coast, Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, Evan Dando, Beyonce and the late Mac Miller. Often shying away from the limelight he is very much the guy behind the guy. Despite being the creative force on some of the biggest records of the last decade he is unrecognised in the street, unassuming and humble. A sound guru with an arsenal of obscure vintage gear and limitless ideas, regardless of genre or project he is the man you call when you want to escape the refines of your musical box. In summary he kinda IS music.

Super Fan is extremely proud to present ‘Music by Jon Brion’ The album is a collection of covers from artists across the globe largely focusing on his film scores and self-released, under-appreciated solo record ‘Meaningless’. The record features 12 of his finest compositions and goes some way to paint a picture of his melodic brilliance which at times straddles Gershwin, Brian Wilson and The Beatles. The magic of his music to us communicates a sense of reflective world weariness which is something we can all relate to in 2020. We hope that after listening you won’t forget his name and will be inclined to delve deeper in to his world. Limited edition MiniDisc and Bandcamp digital release 22.05.20. Sleeve design by resident artist Shaun Miller.
