Hailing from Birmingham/London, Supercaan’s debut release “The Bull” is off their forthcoming debut album, releasing in March. The track features an emotive build-up, with rousing key-laden trickles in the bridge leading to an enjoyably forlorn chorus. The husky vocal presence meshes with hypnotic guitar textures for a consuming result, one that reminds of The National in both the deep-set vocals and rumbling mixture of guitar and murky rhythms. The bass line in general touts a post-punk feel, going nicely with the escalation from nonchalant vocals to a more emotive turn in the chorus, reminding of Echo & the Bunnymen.
