Super Low’s new track “Runners Ups” is first single off their upcoming self-titled album, due out July 12. With bright, jangle-pop inspired guitars, moving melodies, and light, catchy vocals, the song builds into a sing-along chorus of emotive, empathetic material. The song captures the well intentioned spirit of the song overall message “about communication and about trying to find meaning in and move on from negativity.”
The Memphis-based indie pop band, led by singer/guitarist Tiger Adams and keyboardist Harry Neblett, was until recently known as China Gate. The group released a full-length and an EP under that moniker and have been picking up a small head of steam in their hometown and beyond thanks to their ebullient live shows—either their own or opening up for the likes of Dent May and Hoops—and a well-regarded 2017 SXSW showcase.
With a new name, and a brand-new self-titled album ready to share with the world, Super Low are poised for much bigger stages and more acclaim. Recorded mostly last January at Young Avenue Sound with Calvin Lauber (engineer for Julien Baker’s Turn Out The Lights), each song is filled with little sonic touches and surprising intrusions that gets revealed like small secrets with every spin. They’ve already got tours lined up for the summer and even more new material set to be released into the world. Vocalist/guitar Tiger Adams, drummer John Lewandowski, and bassist Conner Booth are supported by a rotating cast of additional members for live shows. Super Low doesn’t know what’s to come but with this spectacular new album ready to drop and a ball of pent up energy at their core waiting to burst free, they won’t stay a local secret for very much longer.
