This is the pill you place in your player to find yourself back in the day, five years old, watching Sesame Street and The Electric Company, lacing up your sneakers to play double dutch or just plain run around until you collapse with exhaustion. This is Kool-Aid and Happy Meals, with soul music blasting out of your mother’s record player while she vacuums the rug. This is sunshine, sandcastles, snowmen, and Christmas morning. This is everything that allows you to wax a hazy shade of nostalgia, and smile in the process. And it’s only four songs long.
Superiority Complex plays a rare sort of pop music hand-plucked from the Sixties and Seventies, but reinterpreted with modern sound. It’s intensely well-crafted pop songs played by three gentlemen with jazz backgrounds, allowing them to effortlessly veer away from all-too-traditional song structures, while still keeping things catchy. It’s a slightly less-funky Sly and the Family Stone; a sexier Scapegoat Wax; the harmonizin\' love child of Stevie Wonder and The Beach Boys.
And like I said, they do all this in only four songs-- an E.P. called I Can’t Explain. It’s a strange, new, sweet little record that would make radio something worth listening to. And that’s the magical, musical ticket for your daydream train back to recess, Pudding Pops, and when you didn’t have a worry in the world.
