about

The follow-up to last year’s debut album Breakers, SUPERFLUX finds Idler Wheel at odds with the world but at peace with itself. A haunting sound of autumnal grayscale, tracing along the lines of post-punk, with dalliances through space-rock, indie, alternative and whatever else swirls around this gritty, weathered breed of atmospheric rock and roll, it’s penned by a songwriter who positions The Cure and Deftones side-by-side on the inspirational shelf. A hat tip to the late-‘70s, early-’80s explosion of musical creativity -- like Public Image Ltd., The Pop Group, Talking Heads -- bolsters the moody aesthetic, a nocturnal sound lit up by the hope on which we hold.
