The Big Comedown 03:17 Release Notes: Supraluxe is a three-piece band from Minneapolis/St. Paul whose eponymous debut is a surprisingly mature and self-assured first work. Meticulous, lush and melodic, the album pulses with a light and dark energy that is undeniable. With influences as diverse as Steely Dan, Elliot Smith, Todd Rundgren and David Bowie, Supraluxe carves out new classic melodies with a unique and cohesive vision. Incorporating the latest in digital recording technology with classic rock guitars and orchestral arrangements, band members Bob Burns, Rich Pearson and Jim Risser have created a song cycle that is accomplished and complete. By wrapping themes of loss, anxiety, alienation and love in the gloss of shiny summerpop, Supraluxe has created an exuberantly melancholy work. In fact, Supraluxe believes that you, the music consumer, are waiting for something like this. Supraluxe made this album for you specifically, you know. Supraluxe believes that the vague sense of unease you feel in your daily life will be eradicated by listening to this album. One caveat, however; Supraluxe may emit chemicals that lead to an inexplicable euphoria upon listening, but these feelings are transient. Supraluxe very much wants you to know that this is expected and normal. Supraluxe wants you to know that you are normal. And that you are waiting for us. So don't be afraid. Let your stereo speaker carmelize with the now confections of Supraluxe.
