Review: YDS2M by Superet
By Sophie Minello
Just a week after the exciting release of the “YDS2M” maxi single, Superet is back with a dreamy rendition of the title song of the collection of songs. This California indie rock band has just the right vibe, even when stripped back to an organic, acoustic version. This release contrasts the electronic sounding, full band version in just the right way, bringing a whole new side to the song and the band itself. The song sounds very effortless, and singer Matt states, “Recording these songs acoustically was an exciting challenge… We spent so much time tweaking the definitive version, it’s refreshing to hear it in a new context, and the process was much faster, which at this point is unusual for us.” This dripping love song, standing for “You Do Something To Me,” surely does something to listeners too. The more you listen to it, the catchier it gets. The acoustic touch especially creates a more personal atmosphere between Superet and the listener. The power chords of the guitar that exist throughout the entire song offer a nice roadmap to the catchiness of the song. “YDS2M” is from their second maxi single, which included songs “Farrington Pond” and “Shapeless Place.” After hearing the driving pop sound in the full band version, it’s a whole new world when you dive into the acoustic version. This impressive release was produced and mixed by Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, MGMT, Spoon) and mastered by multiple Grammy winner, Greg Calbi (Arcade Fire, Tame Impala, The War on Drugs).
Don’t forget to listen to their first maxi single, “Comes As Relief,” which includes the songs “Blue Age” and “Stockholm Syndrome.”
