Superorganism share new song "On & On"

As the release of Superorganism’s second album World Wide Pop moves closer (due July 15th), the quintet are pleased to reveal a fourth song from the record. Entitled “On & On”, it is the most upfront pop moment of World Wide Pop and cloaks the existential lyrics with the band’s idiosyncratic production. The track delves into the relentless and repetitive treadmill of life as Orono sings: “Am I insane or is it now the normal way? / Reason’s out, just hope and pray / And switch off till it goes away”

Harry adds: “It is a bit of an analogy between the ground-hog day effect touring can have, and the cyclical nature of growing as a person and repeating the same mistakes along the way.”

The video for “On & On” is directed and animated by AEVA based on a concept by the band themselves with character animation by Diana Gradinaru. Their most fully realised video, the band wanted to convey a sense of looking back on our current era from a future time period with misty-eyed nostalgia. They explain: “Think of how today we look back on previous eras with fascination and an often rose-tinted vision, like the swinging 60s, but there was strife and anxieties in any era that isn't necessarily captured by that nostalgia. We want to give a sense that there is no such thing as a "good old days", by showing someone in the future looking back at our current day thinking that the 2020s appear like the "good old days".

Superorganism World Wide Pop

Album | 15th July 2022

Superorganism return with their second album World Wide Pop in July, their first new music since 2018’s self-titled debut.

Blasting back with thirteen tracks that explore the infinite versus the intimate, taking in friendship, time, connectedness, and the universe; World Wide Pop contemplates the contradiction of being hopeful and curious when faced with relentless consumerism and overwhelming noise. However choosing optimism, Superorganism believe in the power of pop music and all the things it can do. World Wide Pop bridges the personal and existential whilst delivering a bag full of tunes laced with deadpan humour.

World Wide Pop also brings in an international set of collaborators including Stephen Malkmus, CHAI, Pi Ja Ma, Dylan Cartlidge & legendary musician and actor Gen Hoshino.
