Super Paradise were formed in Milan by Francesco Roma and Nicolò Spreafico and released their debut LP, Quencebo in 2016. The rising band is currently based in London, and their lineup is completed by Anna Arfen (keys), Charlie Davis (bass) and Bradley Hillier-Smith (drums).
Fusing extracts of shoegaze, dreampop and garage rock, the band come up with an edgy, gritty and powerful sound of their own, evidently showcased in their brand new single. 6:30 is an arresting piece which contains all of the band's aforementioned genre characteristics, and through its range and extent comes across bordering on post rock.
"The main inspiration came from 6:30 as a Caribbean dance move," explains lead vocalist Francesco. "I like that it could also mean 6:30 am, dawn. End of the night, end of the dance. It’s always a bit of a weird time. You could still be out after an insane night, yet you’ll walk past people who are doing the complete opposite on their way to work. There’s a bit of uncertainty about it."
Francesco Roma, active on every part of the new song's strong impression, also directed the DIY video attached to it.
"What we wanted to do with this track was create something which immediately jumped out and grabbed attention. The track starts with a hook that’s fast, impactful, frenetic and catchy, before taking the listener to unexpected places on a distorted journey of shifting tone and dynamics. Throughout we’re building anticipation, before unleashing a crescendo of noise, finally tying it back and returning unexpectedly to the original hook."
