{"product_id":"superfan-my-piledriver-heart","title":"Superfan - My Piledriver Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuperfan\u003c\/strong\u003e is the songwriting veil of \u003cstrong\u003eKali Priya Flanagan\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and producer. While initially imagined as a solo act, ambitious string arrangements crafted in collaboration with cellist \u003cstrong\u003eOmeed Almassi\u003c\/strong\u003e have come to define Superfan’s noisy and magnetic pop soundscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Superfan announces their forthcoming album \u003cem\u003eMy Piledriver Heart\u003c\/em\u003e (MPDH), out October 16 via new label home AD 93 (Joanne Robertson, Dagmar Zuniga, YHWH Nailgun). Along with the announcement, Superfan presents his new single \u003cem\u003e“In the Gold Room”\u003c\/em\u003e paired with the live version filmed by Garrett Winston inside Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMPDH marks the first release outside of the record deal Flanagan signed at age 14. The album finds Flanagan embracing a more expansive, experimental vision of indie rock - melding deeply tuned acoustic guitar, cello, and Eastern musical influences into what he calls his “Acousticello” sound. Recorded largely live with cellist Omeed Almassi and producer Hudson Pollock, the record explores heartbreak, independence, and hopeful melancholia. Kali says “This time around it was about being (myself) versus becoming myself. This album was made to acknowledge the ebbs and flows in chugging along with life and love, from a place of comfort within the self that opens you up to the beauty in everyday life.” He does so through intimate performances that blur the line between folk, chamber music, pop-rock ballads, and alternative rock. Last year, he released the singles \u003cem\u003e“Apeiron (Fantasy Football)”\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e“Miss W Jones”\u003c\/em\u003e and earlier this year he released \u003cem\u003e“Picture of Return.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing his acclaimed debut \u003cem\u003eTow Truck Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e, Flanagan opened for \u003cstrong\u003eThe Strokes\u003c\/strong\u003e at Red Rocks, and has quietly become a fixture of New York’s DIY scene, performing alongside artists like \u003cstrong\u003eHorsegirl\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKnifeplay\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Light\u003c\/strong\u003e, while also playing support shows with \u003cstrong\u003eKing Woman\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eVictoryland\u003c\/strong\u003e this summer. He is also in the rising emo band \u003cstrong\u003eHolidays in United States\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore Superfan, Flanagan found success during the pandemic under his first moniker, “KALI.” His initial releases garnered millions of streams and led to collaborations with seasoned high-profile producers and industry teams. Despite his budding career as an indie-pop star, Flanagan was dissatisfied with the conditions of his artistic output and community as he reached adulthood. His coming-of-age years in Los Angeles were marked by an ever-present new-wave pop music oblivion: “hits” made in 5-hour sessions with strangers, a social life suffocated by others’ aspirations for fame, and an absent audience for live music that pushed past the prescriptions of recorded music. On MPDH, Kali says “I can’t help my urge to write these pop-rock ballads, but we really wanted to push the boundary of genre and expressing the sentiments of the songs through experimentation.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AD 93","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":59163023901017,"sku":"SDZ-51127","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":59163023933785,"sku":"SDZ-51128","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/CAR_20260826_1138_103847_646_p_download_20260826103828_1_001.jpeg?v=1787742212","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/superfan-my-piledriver-heart","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
