Our recurring feature series Track by Track sees artists guiding readers through each song on their new release. This week, members of Superheaven break down their new self-titled LP.
A year after releasing their sophomore album in 2015, the four members of Superheaven decided to go their separate ways. Though they ultimately got back together in 2022 following several reunion shows, it wasn’t until fairly recently that they began contemplating a new record. Now, they’ve officially returned with that album, released under the eponymous title Superheaven.
After almost a decade away from the studio, Taylor Madison, Jake Clarke, Zack Robbins, and Joseph Kane have cooked up ten new tracks that seek to re-establish who and what Superheaven, as a project, is. The Pennsylvania group’s third full-length release was engineered by Clarke and Robbins, with Will Yip serving as the project’s co-producer.
“Every song starts from a different idea from a certain person in the band,” Madison tells Consequence about the songwriting process. “Everyone was really in the mix on just getting their hands dirty.”
Compared to previous records, Superheaven saw the quartet being more hands-on in terms of collaboration than ever before. As Robbins explains, “that whole dynamic of everyone cutting in on everything” is what makes these songs sound so fresh despite the band having been around for years.
Explosive yet controlled, this LP was the missing piece of Superheaven’s second run — with its arrival, it’s safe to say the group’s future is looking brighter than ever before.
Stream Superheaven below, followed by Madison, Clarke, and Robbins’ Track by Track breakdown of each cut. You can also pick up a physical copy on vinyl.
