Supercrush

Although best known for playing in a long lineage of hardcore (Go It Alone, ON, Keep It Clear) and metal bands (Black Breath), Mark Palm’s focus has always been songcraft and pop sensibility. After finally embracing all that is sweet and sublime as the primary songwriter of San Francisco’s shoegaze darlings Modern Charms, Palm continues to explore the saccharine side of things with his new project, Supercrush which also features Aaron O'Neil on drums.

Just in time for spring Supercrush pops back up with the 4th installment in their supersingle series. Pink is the hue this time around as the 'Crush drops another pair of big shiny tunes. 'I Can't Lie' is what we've come to expect from the group: two minutes of powerpop excellence. At this point the formula has been distilled down to it's most efficient and effective state - not a second is wasted. Each moment of the song is as catchy and infectious, if not more so, than the one that proceeded it. 'Walking Backwards' on side B reaches back to some guitar pop influences of an earlier vintage and introduces acoustic guitar, organ, and glockenspiel into the mix, perhaps the band's most soft and wistful track to date. Summer is right around the corner and Supercrush will be playing these two radio friendly unit shifters, and many more, all across America - don't miss it.
