A FEW WORDS

Fans of Melbourne psych wizards Super American Eagle are being treated to studio versions of two of the bands most favourite and unexpected covers, released as a double A-Side called Cover To Cover out, now through Cheersquad Records & Tapes.

The trio featuring luminaries Brent DeBoer of The Dandy Warhols, Dave Mudie from the Courtney Barnett band and Bob Harrow of Immigrant Union are renowned for dropping left field covers into their live sets and on Cover To Cover they deliver their own sludge rock takes on “Breathe” by The Prodigy and “Groove Is In The Heart” by Deee-Lite.

Known for ergine detours into noise, psych and sludgy dank, herbal grooves, Super American Eagle give the same treatment  to these two classic 90’s pop tracks. “Breathe” originally released by The Prodigy in 1996 from their The Fat Of The Land album is placed through Super Americans psych rock filter, the thrilling peaks and highs of the original left in tact but this time driven by velcro ripping fuzz bass and Harrow’s coven summoning drawl giving the resulting track a thrilling and menacing edge.

On “Groove Is In The Heart”, the global disco pop hit originally released at the dawn of the 90’s by New York dance outfit Deee-Lite, Super American Eagle take the classic via a sludge driven intro until Harrow breaks out into his very best Lady Miss Kier and the band fall into to the original spirit of the track, chosen by the group for its timeless bassline, albeit with slightly more unhinged results.

Cover To Cover drops just as Super American Eagle fly out to the States for a run of October dates with Australian rockers Jet, no doubt ready to win a new legion of American fans with their vital and engaging take on super heavy fuzz rock
