Superhuman Happiness is an apt moniker for the much buzzed about Brooklyn-based band whose been turning heads for their high energy live shows and a series of well-received 7-inches and 45s. Dubbing their sound “physical, cinematic, dance rock,” Superhuman Happiness’ joyful spirit is palatable, vibrating collectively through melody and rhythm, on their debut collection The Physical EP. The band’s founder Stuart Bogie brings Superhuman Happiness a deep well of musical experiences from which to draw upon. He has performed as an original member of Antibalas, a reoccurring saxophonist in TV On The Radio, a full-time component of Iron & Wine and a featured soloist in the Broadway musical FELA! Likewise, Bogie’s band-mates Eric Biondo, Jared Samuel, Luke O'Malley, Ryan Ferreira, Nikhil Yerawadekar and Miles Arntzen have resumes that stretch across The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Passion Pit, Nicole Atkins, The Roots, Holly Miranda and Foals.

Press Quotes:
“Led by Stuart Bogie, the saxophone wizard behind the ripping horns of Antibalas and the Sway Machinery, Superhuman Happiness finally brings us tasty, hazy indie-pop sprinkled with legitimately funky horn arrangements, employing ‘80s electronic drum beats, bouncy clarinets, spacey-vocals and tinkling guitar textures, all to great effect.” - WNYC

“A relaxed-yet-joyous vibe through slowly escalating horn lines and squelchy drum machine squawk.” – Village Voice

“Superhuman Happiness is a Brooklyn-based band who channels Oingo Boingo, Talking Heads and MGMT with Nigerian beats.” – The Hidden Track

Needles and Pins

This was great night . . . we'd been touring the record (Swift) for about 7 months so the energy was high on stage . . . plus for some odd reason the venue wanted to do a masquerade ball so everyone in the audience was wearing masks and lookin freaky . . our friend even came up on stage and danced for an exteneded Limbs Of A Pine  . . . oh . . . and it was a full moon . . . oh geez . . . yes you can hear it all here . . . we tested out two new tunes that will be on our upcoming record The Story Of Fred Short . . .  and we wound up, on a whim, sequeing RISD and Let's Spend The Night Together (the Bowie version) at the end of the show. That even surprised us while we were playing through that!  Thank you everyone for making that night such a memorable show.  Thank you Signal Kitchen, thank you Burlington - thank you Dave Andy Dan and Jeff !   See you OUT THERE ! - MB

Follow The Arrow (LIVE 4.4.15) - Marco Benevento

Artist: Pittsburgh Track Authority
Title:  Your Situation EP
Release Date: 11th September (Vinyl) 2nd October (Digital) 2015
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR205/FRD205

Pittsburgh Track Authority have been making waves the last couple of years following brilliant releases on some of the best
underground house labels around such as Uzuri, Argot, Finale
Sessions as well as their own Pittsburgh Tracks imprint.  Last year
saw their debut LP Enter The Machine Age gain them further fans and we invited them to remix Nils Penner’s I Can Be for which they
delivered an absolute beast.  

The Pittsburgh based collective are as comfortable making disco-influenced grooves as they are funk-infused techno so when they offered us Your Situation with a view to doing an EP we jumped at the chance.

Lead track Your Situation is one of those subtle, slow burners that
comes completely alive on a big system. The minimal drums and
simple string stabs combining to create a simple and spacious
groove to get locked into.  Classic, proper house music with that
raw Omar S touch which when it’s done well, creates pure magic.

Flipping over we have Rt. 28 which builds around a shuffling,
percussive groove, simple repeating rhodes chords and one bar synth riff.  Once again, the PTA boys inject that authentic Detroit
influenced sound, keeping things refined and focussing on the nuts and bolts and avoiding any clutter.

Closing this characterful release we have Gold Trim which as the
name suggests has a more loungey vibe to it with plenty of live
instrumentation and a loose, jazzy feel.
