Last year, the group named their debut EP \u003cem\u003eRosepig\u003c\/em\u003e after the dog that featured on the cover. The cover of their recent single, Touch Me, was adorned by a mouse and a birthday cake. No prizes then for guessing what to look for when you head to the record store to buy their fantastic new album, Tiger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTiger\u003c\/em\u003e was created by the same line-up that brought us \u003cem\u003eRosepig\u003c\/em\u003e but lead singer\/guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eDave Mulcahy\u003c\/strong\u003e, bassist \u003cstrong\u003eBen Howe\u003c\/strong\u003e, and drummer \u003cstrong\u003eGreta Anderson\u003c\/strong\u003e have stretched \u003cstrong\u003eSuperette\u003c\/strong\u003e into a more powerful musical unit than Rosepig would ever have suggested possible. That means the clean instrumental drive of the three-piece band is augmented by vastly more assured arrangement and studio production from the band and engineer \u003cstrong\u003eNick Roughan\u003c\/strong\u003e over a set of twelve songs that confirm their quality songwriting talent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eKiller Clown\u003c\/em\u003e is the only EP track present on \u003cem\u003eTiger\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eTouch M\u003c\/em\u003ee, also here, gives more indication of what to expect from Tiger -- confident, strident performance and extra throttle added to the group's vocals by Greta and Ben joining Dave at the mic throughout the album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComparisons to \u003cstrong\u003eJPS Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e, Dave's previous band, are inevitable but \u003cstrong\u003eSuperette's\u003c\/strong\u003e smart, distinctive music sounds increasingly like its own thing: a blend of chunky riffs and sweet melodies that makes real comparison hard. But if you blend the attitudes of a certain \u003cstrong\u003eSonic Youthness\u003c\/strong\u003e in the second half of Tiger and a hint of \u003cstrong\u003eT Rex\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially by the slower songs, with your classic Flying Nun songwriting ingredients then you may have it. Add the cryptic lyrical sense that has always characterised Mulcahy's writing and there's definitely something special here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat's certain is that there is variety aplenty. The ragged rocking of \u003cem\u003eUgly Things\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eI Got It Clean\u003c\/em\u003e are followed by \u003cem\u003eSaskatchewan\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTaiwan\u003c\/em\u003e, each with a bizarre geographical hook. The bright hooks of \u003cem\u003eTouch Me\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKiss Someone\u003c\/em\u003e contrast with upright heavy riff-monsters like Funny Weather and Felo de se. The mood then extends to gentler moments Bye Bye and Dave's beautiful solo album closer, Waves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuperette's\u003c\/strong\u003e videos for \u003cem\u003eKiller Clown\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTouch Me\u003c\/em\u003e have already received plenty of attention. \u003cem\u003eKiller Clown\u003c\/em\u003e, a surreal adults-as-children party sequence starred the dog \u003cstrong\u003eRosepig\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cem\u003eTouch Me\u003c\/em\u003e features pretty much the same cast involved in some badass peepshow action. Another epic Superette clip is due shortly for album track Kiss Someone, and they're promising this one is a safari video with the usual cast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose twisted visuals match Superette's song sensibility all too well.

“I read a review once where a guy said they played this album every day at a cafe he worked for six months, and never got sick of it.” So says Big Ross from theBird Nest Roysin the liner notes for the deluxe reissue ofSuperette’sinimitable, standalone 1996 albumTiger. Emerging from the dissolution of Jean Paul Sartre Experience in 1993, Dave Mulcahy and Greta Anderson found themselves in New York with a handful of song skeletons. Recruiting childhood friend Ben Howe back in Auckland, Superette was born. The band combined Mulcahy’s signature sound-bending guitar and melodic ear for a pop hook with Anderson’s muscular drumming, triangulated by Howe’s energising, sinewy bass and guitar lines.
One of Flying Nun’s mid-90s gems, this deluxe re-issue of Tiger features the album along with the band’s debut EP, Rosepig, b-sides from the Touch Me and Killer Clown singles plus unreleased demos from the bands’ never released, uncompleted second album – a rare delight for fans of the band’s impeccably slender back catalogue.
Produced with friend and collaborator Nick Roughan (Skeptics), who Mulcahy had worked with on JPSE’sThe Size of Food, Tiger was tracked and mixed in Auckland’s York Street Studios on Auckland’s Shortland Street. The studio permits clarity in engineering; Anderson’s drums sound Albini-esque; guitars soar and chug, at times riding the knife edge of controlled chaos that Roughan has made his hallmark.
From the grunge riffs of I Got It Clean to the soft melodic hooks of Bye Bye; from the slow, melancholic verses of Felo De Se to the overdriven anthemic rock drive of Saskatchewan, Tiger is unique in its deployment of binary functions; aesthetic and thematic. Quiet/loud; soft/hard; smooth/jagged. As Big Ross notes of the band’s name itself, it’s big/small. Super-ette.
