SUPERCLUSTER is an Athens super-group featuring members of PYLON, THE OLIVIA TREMOR CONTROL, CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, DEERHUNTER, CASPER & THE COOKIES, THE NEW SOUND OF NUMBERS / SOUND HOUSES, INSTRUMENTS, BOB HAY & THE JOLLY BEGGARS, and THE SQUALLS.

Its music has been described as "Appalachian Wave" because of the eclectic combination of a mixture of elements - three female vocalists, upbeat rhythms, violin, cello, mandolin, clarinets, acoustic guitar, keyboard, and angular electric guitar.

Bringing together a virtual history of the Athens music scene, Supercluster's sound has evolved over time through consistent practicing and dynamic live shows.

The band will be performing live in support of their new album Waves, including as an opening act for the B-52's.

This is also one of the last documents of the guitar skills of Randy Bewley (PYLON), who passed away earlier this year.

Bradford Cox of DEERHUNTER, a longtime fan of PYLON, stepped in to help SUPERCLUSTER in the studio after Randy passed away.

Heather McIntosh of INSTRUMENTS / GNARLS BARKLEY / LIL' WAYNE also appears on the record and is playing live with the group now as well.
