"Mikelah" is a marraige of genres, and LA's Superhumanoids the stoic priest. The new wave-leaning vocals of Cameron Parkins alone would have made for a worthy track, but in comes Sarah Chernoff's soprano, a dose of dream pop that sets the band apart from standard electro fare. With a percussive intro that seems to announce its shift from bedroom to big time, the new 7-inch is sure to provide the rest of the necessary evidence. - RCRD LBL
Also of note, the "Mikelah" single was produced and recorded by White Iris' own Lewis Pesacov (Best Coast, Fools Gold) in the labels own Los Angeles studio. Pre-order the vinyl from InSound and receive a limited edition Superhumanoids poster for free!

their romantic dream-pop coasted in on a cloud, beaming a blend of talking heads-y new wave, atmospheric electronics, and beautiful boy-girl vocals - spin
signature sunny, new-wave tinged indie pop - the fader
best of sxsw music: critic's picks - npr
hot air must have magical sonic qualities because in the dirty heat superhumanoids' singer sarah chernoff's soaring soprano seemed particularly chilling, seeming to stir up the dust with every note. - the fader
combining whimsical lyrics (think talking heads) with fresh squirts of electro-pop-fun (think mgmt), superhumanoids' sound is one that could definitely cause an addiction - nylon magazine
their electro-tinged, indie rock sound taps into the rare knowledge of deep bassdom, relative to street hop and nasty dance floor thump - kcrw
every band strives to be unclassifiable, but superhumanoids seem to have managed it [...] combine the electronic with the organic, mixing new-fangled programming with good old-fashioned instrument-bashing - the guardian: new band of the day
superhumanoids [...] may have formed in the small confines of a bedroom, but their tunes are huge [...] a krautrock influence shines through the stark, repetitive grooves, but these songs are too dancey and beautiful to fit squarely in that genre [...] the soaring boy/girl harmonies of cameron parkins and sarah chernoff are too catchy to be considered ambient, but they're still pretty damn airy - popmatters
Superhumanoids makes dreamy pop that shouts summery '60s harmonies, garage rock's raw tonality, slick new-wave electronics, and the adventurous dissonance of '90s indie rock. originally a solo bedroom project, the la band quickly evolved into a multifaceted foursome equally focused on propulsive live performances and glimmery productions for private listening. Superhumanoids' 2008 demos were passed around by pals to friends of pals, leading to remix work for an array of artists including the wombats, zebra and snake, xiu xiu, and local natives.
Superhumanoids' formal debut, urgency, was released in 2010 by hit city u.s.a. (us) and oh! inverted world (uk) to acclaim from the fader, la weekly, and the guardian. the ep, available on 12inch vinyl and digital download, was produced and recorded by Superhumanoids and highlights the crew's penchant for organic textures, electronic flourishes, and charming male/female vocal interplay.
Superhumanoids' sophomore ep, parasite paradise, was released digitally on hit city u.s.a. march 8, 2011 and on 12" vinyl on april 12th, 2011.
