Super American follows up with "Altima Song," a punch of an emotionally charged single that is one of the standouts of the band's forthcoming album Gangster of Love. With a knack for balancing the line between existential musing and cheeky irreverence, the band has once again created a song that feels infinitely personal and entirely cool.
Under Sam Guaiana's production hand, "Altima Song" is a master class in' 90s-tinged alt-rock energy. Swirling melodies melt into soaring hooks as high-voltage riffs push the track onward with a raw urgency. "Altima Song" perfectly encapsulates the band's signature smirk-meets-sincerity approach, equal parts introspective and anthemic, like a late-night joy ride with the windows down and nothing but an open road ahead.
Super American has always been a band of forward motion. We're following up on 2021's crop of songs, SUP and 2018's Tequila Sunrise. Pulling up stakes from Buffalo to Los Angeles, their newest work is a sonic evolution emo heart, pop-punk adrenaline, with a sprinkling of wry wit into something jumpy, slippery, and unpredictable. Gangster of Love takes their songwriting into exciting new territory, and if "Altima Song" is any indication, this album's gonna be a love letter to the past and a daring springboard into the future.
