Superorganism - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

I love how they are right in between awkward and rad. Guess that's the exact definition of an indie band.

I think 90% of the "I don't think I get this" comments would be solved by listening without watching... The songs, while creative/modern/distinct in so many ways, are really pretty straightforward classic pop. I get that it's hard to get over the wacky clothes, dance moves, and least front-persony front person in the history of pop. I love everything about it. Let your freak flags fly SuperO!!

[@badtux]

"least front-persony front person in the history of pop" LOL. Yeah. The interviews with these guys are hilarious. Orono mostly looks bored and rarely says more than three or four words while her bandmates are rattling away. I don't know if I love everything about it, but it's catchy, poppy, and I don't feel like I wasted my time listening to it. This video was enough to make me say "who the f*** are these people?" and go look up their other KZbin videos anyhow. Love how KEXP always has these weird bands on for us to discover!

[@ATLTraveler]

I love how she never looks up or really moves but everyone else does lol...great band, love bands that are unique and sound like nobody else.

As a post 40 YO graduate of Pavement and B2S academy of the 90s and a current Reggae junky I've got to say Superorganism nailed it! Every song on this record is keen. Woo! Lyrics whimsical, ironic and cynical. Brings me back to 1996. All three of my little kids love it too. The only bad thing about this record is that there are not enough songs. Just keep spinning this record, listen to the lyrics, have an open mind and stare out the blinds shades.

When you observe superficially, you may think theres lack of spontaneity. But they overcome this first misundarstanding: here theres a calculated process that gets right to the point. Its a formula and it works very well.

[@MrTubo89]

I think spontaneity and calculated process do not go together. I observe superficially, I think no spontaneity. "They overcome the misunderstanding" means they fix this lack of spontaneity appearance. How? With a calculated process. I mean.. they're good but you are not making sense ^^

Gen Z will definitely shake up the paradigm. There is child-like faith in this grouping of people. I see something here that could evolve into a Bjork or Tori Amos style of quirkiness that took the world by storm in the 90s. Don't knock this group just yet. Bjork went through her time in the Sugar Cubes before Debut and Post. Three albums down the road, they could be mainstream. They are breaking all the rules even if they are fresh on their feet.
