Superchick Set To Release Recollection Album October 29th

Superchick announced back in August that they each felt like it was time to move on from the band and pursue other things (you can read the message from the band here). This was a sad piece of news for many Superchick fans. 


However before the band is done, they are releasing a sort of new album! The album is titled "Recollection" and it will feature 5 brand new songs, and 11 classics. Recollection comes out this Tuesday, October 29th!

Nashville, TN (October 24, 2013) - On October 29, GRAMMY® nominated pop/rock group Superchick will celebrate its legacy with the release of Recollection, a CD/DVD that combines five brand-new songs with 11 of the band's best-loved hits. The album closes out a chapter for the band, who recently announced that Superchick as we know it is saying farewell. Listen for "Sunshine" going for adds at all radio formats November 1, while "This Is The Time" is set to be featured in the upcoming film"God's Not Dead."

"The fans made us real," says Superchick's founder and band member Max Hsu. "We stage-dived into the dark unknown and they caught us and carried us on their shoulders, record after record. Without them, we would have been gone years ago. These final songs are our love letter to everyone who carried us. They are some of our best songs and I know as a band we'd all be crushed if no one got to hear them."

The highly-anticipated new songs found on Recollection showcase a fresh sound for Superchick. A candy shell of synth glosscoats a foundation of MPC grooves swung by fat analog basses. And it's not just the production flourishes that stand out - the lyrics run deeper than typical pop bumper sticker sloganeering. The past year has been one of tragedy and loss for the band, marking the passing of Superchick's drummer, Chase Lovelace, after a battle with cancer. While many of the lyrics were written in hospital waiting rooms, the songs are still a celebration of life and hope.

"When he first started chemo, Chase called me to say, 'Don't finish the record without me; I'm coming back in the fall,'" Hsu recalls. "Some of Chase's rhythmic creativity lives on in these songs. These new songs are dedicated to his fighting optimism and I hope they honor his memory."

In addition to the new songs, Recollection takes listeners on a journey from the very first Superchick song ever written right through to the present day. What started in a basement in a Chicago suburb grew into a musical journey that lasted over a decade. From movies and TV shows to video games to radio charts, Superchick's brand of girl-power pop snuck its way into living rooms and headphones all over the world. Eleven of those hits were chosen personally by the band for Recollection, and most Superchick fans will find their favorites among them.
