SuperBloom by Silent Planet
MITCH : "I feel like this is the first album that we have done that has a gateway song in ‘Antimatter’. We have never experienced something where people have been coming out of the woodwork. I think people in the heavy world minimise and look down on a band when they start to do something that may feel a little bit more mainstream, even including something like synths. Yet people can smell when that pursuit is phoney when people are doing something because they want to get rich and buy a Tesla. For us, it just matters to be that we actually like this and we like writing like this. A big part of what makes this fun and rewarding is approaching each record as, ‘How can we stretch Silent Planet to its limit?’ If nothing else, ‘SUPERBLOOM’ has been a cool experiment, and the reaction means that the next thing we do can be more out there and different. I’m very excited about that, and I’m already stoked to make it."
GARRETT: "I was writing the song ‘SUPERBLOOM’ before we knew we would be calling the album it as well. I knew what it was being from California, but I still googled it to check if it was one word or two. Right when I did that, I saw that there was an article posted just an hour prior by the Los Angeles Times saying that the Superbloom had officially begun. It was really weird that it was happening around us, and it had been subconsciously bouncing around. The album eventually being called it made sense for two reasons. The first is it is the final track. The second is the idea of ‘SUPERBLOOM’ having hidden and extra meanings within the background story of this record’s concept. It is the experience of someone going from one state, which is human, to becoming some other kind of organism entirely. That story is something that we are going to have a lot of fun with over this release, slowly revealing more to people. "
