The Supernaturals -360
Release date- 6 April 2015
The Supernaturals release their fourth album “360” on 6 April 2015. The album has fifteen tracks written and recorded over the previous 4 years at Gorbals Sound studios, Glasgow. Produced by Kevin Burleigh (Glasvegas, Simple Minds), the album ranges from the skiffle beat of My Sweet George to the sarcasm of Air Hostess with the wry balladry of Zombie and many points in between. The band hark back to their Powerpop/Sixties roots in what is a resounding return to form with their knack for offbeat and sometimes funny lyrics welded to catchy melodies still in place. The cover of the album, the shoreline of the Firth of Clyde, refers to the sea journey undertaken in the last song on the album, 360, and like the title of the album reflects the band’s return to its original sound.
The Supernaturals formed in 1991 and toured extensively around Scotland releasing 4 mini albums on their own label. They signed to EMI/Food in 1995 releasing two albums “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” and a “Tune a Day”. The band had 7 Top 50 singles between 1995 and 1999. The band’s third album, the Beach boys influenced electronica of “What We Did Last Summer” was released in 2002 on Universal records, after which the band went on a long overdue break. Meantime, several of the band’s songs, the Ivor Novello nominated “Smile” and “I wasn’t built to get up” have taken on a life of their own in subsequent years, having been used in adverts around the world. Rod Stewart covered the band’s song “Dylan’s Day Off” in 1997.
