Video by Thomas Schmidt http://www.thoma2.de

It all started a few years ago, during one of those long nights in Berlin where people meet by chance, talking about music and visions and then, after a few beers, someone says, "Let's make music together." Often such projects fail before the hangover next morning. Fortunately, in this case it was different and what then happened a few weeks later, using an old microphone and a not quite tame laptop, was for Tino, Paul and Nils a kind of liberation. The SoundMonsters saw the light of day. Ultimately, one can't say with certainty whether they were hatched from eggs or were beamed down to Earth from a spacecraft. However, one thing is immediately clear when you get to know them: reality is something else.

Now a few years have gone by and with "Winner of the Year" in October 2012 they published their second long-player. A whole lot more mature than its predecessor and at the same time a lot more courageous, extending the boundaries of the Indietronic genre many times over. Our dusty ears have something to really look forward to!

"Supersound" is the first single release from "Winner Of The Year" and probably by far the easiest and most wonderfully innocent song on the record. A child's summer, which tempts you to get together with a few friends in a too-small car, to spend a day at the seaside, turning a blind eye to the world and including a few spaceships. Had Phoenix, Kings Of Convenience, Jürgen Paape and Zoot Woman started a collaboration, perhaps Supersound would have been the result. But the SoundMonsters do it all on their own. Unobtrusive chimes gently carry us through the entire song and touch our hearts with a large portion of serenity. Later, you'll find that you can't get this tune out of your head. Just like the memory of a beautiful summer day.

The Supersound visuals were created by video producer Thomas Schmidt (Tocotronic, Fettes Brot, Lena). He captures the Deconstructed Reality of the SoundMonsters perfectly and probably brings them closer to the Forced Realists: Dancing aliens and pink unicorns in wonderfully colorful collage-style re-arrange our synapses and give our rusty imaginations a gentle nudge.

As usual, there are several successful remixes of artists such as Powel, AB Syndrom, Camarada Vasco & Nico de Vries (Kiez Beats) and Tiasz.

Strident, delightful, multifarious but never trashy. Go with the flow!

And if sometime soon you meet a sheep on the street and it invites you to a dance and afternoon tea: don't be surprised, just do it! We've really had enough of reality.
