Superhumanoids Use Ice and Snow to Record 'A Crowded Hour' -- Song Premiere

Los Angeles-based foursome Superhumanoids are West Coast dreamers, building shimmering and buttery pop through organic textures. Their latest 7-inch, 'Mikelah/A Crowded Hour,' takes that concept all the way to the bank by using snow and ice to record the dark and droning 'A Crowded Hour.'

"The piano was recorded ad-lib in one take, then edited together, at my parents home in Seattle this past winter," Superhumanoids' Cameron Parkins tells Spinner. "We built the song around that and then finished it off in Los Angeles."

Superhumanoids' latest single features the lovely vocal stylings of Sarah Chernoff, a rounded bass tone and pads of wintry harmonics.

"The drum samples are actually snow and ice being manipulated in different ways -- ice blocks smashing, footsteps, snow packing, etc. This is the most down-tempo piece of music we have ever released."

Superhumanoids follow-up to 'Parasite Paradise' is available now via White Iris records.
