James Supercave

It's a smooth maneuver how James Supercave reels you into this dense pop. A familiar conversation in a fresh language, the LA quintet's bending production is engrossing with a sultry delivery, a hybrid of guitar solos and analogue synths, like finding David Bowie locked into a groove above J-Dilla beats. As themes run the gamut with a casually apocalyptic smirk and cool, quick wit, the songs escalate naturally to epic scales, impressive and moving.

Listed by KCRW's Jason Bentley as one of the top "5 LA Musicians to watch in 2014" after a demo leaked onto local airwaves, James Supercave's first official release will be the four-song The Afternoon EP via Hit City U.S.A.
