‘Superthousand’ is a new German band which released two studio recordings, the EP ‘Universe | Revese’ in 2013 and ‘voyage.’ In 2016 and which has just released a new album ‘#TRNSIT’. They are part of an atmospheric progressive style with obvious influences from formations like ‘Pink-Floyd’ or like their compatriots from ‘RPWL’.

With the very short instrumental 'Silence Reprise' which refers to the last title of their album 'voyage.', 'Silence', we hear directly the references cited above and we feel a major evolution in production with a much more worked sound, 'World on Wire' confirming this feeling with a first composition unrolling a slow and beautiful melody with parts deploying an imposing amplitude of sound. The long development ‘Transit’ continues in this atmospheric atmosphere with a first part fairly agreed melodically, integrating in the second part a beautiful instrumental section close to the ‘Floyds’ and a sung final which returns to a calmer atmosphere. Follow the beautiful ballad 'Albatros' which reminds of 'RPWL', then 'Yet Untilted' is much more energetic thinking outside the box, and finally, 'Safe and Now' concludes this short opus with a 2nd long development which puts forward the singing of 'Dominik Mertens' and a catchy rhythm with remarkable breaks in intensity in the main theme and an imposing ending which ends abruptly.

In summary, the Germans from ‘Superthousand’ are releasing a quality album reminiscent of the big names in atmospheric progressive rock and ‘#TRNSIT’ should appeal to all those who like the references mentioned above...
