Release Notes:
Supraluxe is a three-piece band from Minneapolis/St.
Paul whose eponymous debut is a surprisingly mature
and self-assured first work. Meticulous, lush and
melodic, the album pulses with a light and dark
energy that is undeniable. With influences as
diverse as Steely Dan, Elliot Smith, Todd Rundgren
and David Bowie, Supraluxe carves out new classic
melodies with a unique and cohesive vision.
Incorporating the latest in digital recording
technology with classic rock guitars and orchestral
arrangements, band members Bob Burns, Rich Pearson
and Jim Risser have created a song cycle that is
accomplished and complete. By wrapping themes of
loss, anxiety, alienation and love in the gloss of
shiny summerpop, Supraluxe has created an
exuberantly melancholy work.
In fact, Supraluxe believes that you, the music
consumer, are waiting for something like this.
Supraluxe made this album for you specifically, you
know. Supraluxe believes that the vague sense of
unease you feel in your daily life will be
eradicated by listening to this album. One caveat,
however; Supraluxe may emit chemicals that lead to
an inexplicable euphoria upon listening, but these
feelings are transient. Supraluxe very much wants
you to know that this is expected and normal.
Supraluxe wants you to know that you are normal. And
that you are waiting for us. So don't be afraid. Let
your stereo speaker carmelize with the now
confections of Supraluxe.
