In many ways, Superfood don’t feel like they’re about to release their second album. Between their debut and its follow-up, they’ve changed labels, changed line-ups and refined their sound. They’re not quite a totally new band, but they’re not a known quantity either.
For many, such disruption would be a sign of desperation. Not for Superfood, though. Not even close. Distilling down on what makes them tick, they’ve found an identity all of their own. The tracks from new album ‘Bambino’ feel like the sound of an act who know exactly who they want to be. It works wonders.
Even the old cuts sound reborn – ‘You Can Believe’ fizzes with excitement – but it’s the newer material that really triumphs. Singles ‘Unstoppable’ and ‘Double Dutch’ reign supreme, but it’s the sample heavy groove of ‘Where’s The Bass Amp’ that steals the show. Superfood 2.0 are a band reborn. From here, the sky’s the limit.
