Better Strange Out Now On Fairfax Recordings

“An excellent album on the way with Better Strange.” - NERDIST
"'Burn' is creative and original -- it also demonstrates some serious talent" - Indie Shuffle
“The perfect soundtrack to getting strange making mistakes” - Buzzbands LA

James Supercave is excited to hit the road this spring supporting Wild Belle. The upcoming tour will make stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Austin and more. The band also just announced aBrooklyn headlining show at Our Wicked Lady as a part of Indie Shuffle's Monthly Showcase as well as a performance at Collide's Not A Pool Party Coachella kick off event. Not A Pool Party will take place on April 14 at the Bardot Nightclub at the Hard Rock Hotel in Palm Springs and will also include sets by Dan Deacon and Magic Wands. All upcoming shows are listed below.
James Supercave is touring in support of their highly anticipated debut album Better Strange which is out now on Fairfax Recordings. Better Strange which was co-produced by Kevin Augunas (Cold War Kids, Nick Waterhouse, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros) and the band is available 2xLP limited edition white vinyl (limited to 500), 2xLP black vinyl, CD, and digitally. Fans can order the album digitally via iTunes and black vinyl version via Amazon . KCRW's Eric J. Lawrence says, "It [Better Strange] is a perfect album title for the band, as they prove themselves masters of the odd angles and off-kilter pop melodies that are littered throughout their record, turning unlikely musical directions into indie gold."
James Supercave was profiled in NOISEY'S NEXT column where the band revealed their new single "Burn." Noisey's Andrea Domanick says "In the five years since the Echo Park psych-pop trio hit the scene, they’ve garnered band-to-watch accolades, local residencies, radio play, and touring and support slots with bands like Warpaint and Future Islands. Fans have been known to do things like knit James Supercave scarves. In 2014, a demo of their song "Burn" made it into rotation at LA's tastemaker radio station KCRW, who stamped it with a coveted “Track of the Day” designation." James Supercave's Joaquin Pastor adds "'Burn' was born from a bass line and wants to suck you in. It's the pulse of a year long mess."
Last year, the band along with close friend and up-and-coming auteur James Kid (whom also directed the band’s video for “The Right Thing”) created a short film documenting the making of the album at the legendary Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Ca. and teases a new song titled, “Just Repeating What's Around Me.” Watch the video HERE.
The band also made waves combining Sophie Koko Gate’s award winning animation video "Half Wet" with their single of the same name, “Better Strange." The video, which premiered via Nerdist, is basically “like 90s cartoons did the same drugs that our music is hooked on. Beautiful, bizarre, hilarious;” states the band. Scope out the surreal music video HERE. Nerdist stated that based on this first glimpse that there “appears to be an excellent album on the way with Better Strange…” The track cuts the familiar slam and glam of psych-pop with the odd details that continually throw James Supercave into the uncanny valley of the pop genre: the lurching groove of the bass, the relentless loop of the synth, the shape-shifting timbre of the vocal. "You're so much better strange. You're so much better when you make mistakes with me," urges Supercave in a fit against normalcy. "Better Strange" dare the listener to commit to the mistakes they've always wanted to make.
