Superhumanoids makes dreamy pop that shouts summery '60s harmonies, garage rock's raw tonality, slick new-wave electronics, and the adventurous dissonance of '90s indie rock. Originally a solo bedroom project, the LA band quickly evolved into a multifaceted foursome equally focused on propulsive live performances and glimmery productions for private listening. Superhumanoids' 2008 demos were passed around by pals to friends of pals, leading to remix work for an array of artists including The Wombats, Zebra and Snake, Xiu Xiu, and Local Natives.

Superhumanoids' formal debut, Urgency, was released in 2010 by Hit City U.S.A. (US) and Oh! Inverted World (UK) to acclaim from The Fader, LA Weekly, and The Guardian. The EP, available on 12inch vinyl and digital download, was produced and recorded by Superhumanoids and highlights the crew's penchant for organic textures, electronic flourishes, and charming male/female vocal interplay.

Superhumanoids' sophomore EP, Parasite Paradise, was released digitally on Hit City U.S.A. March 8, 2011 and on 12" vinyl on April 12th, 2011. Another self-produced effort, Parasite Paradise garnered new fans for the group from Nylon, Paper Magazine, Spin, NPR, and more. Their latest release, a 7" single on White Iris records, was released on June 21, 2011. The single features two tracks - Mikelah and A Crowded Hour - produced by Lewis Pesacov of LA-based Fool' Gold

Every band strives to be unclassifiable, but Superhumanoids seem to have managed it [...] combine the electronic with the organic, mixing new-fangled programming with good old-fashioned instrument-bashing - the guardian: new band of the day

Superhumanoids [...] may have formed in the small confines of a bedroom, but their tunes are huge [...] a krautrock influence shines through the stark, repetitive grooves, but these songs are too dancey and beautiful to fit squarely in that genre [...] The soaring boy/girl harmonies of Cameron Parkins and Sarah Chernoff are too catchy to be considered ambient, but they're still pretty damn airy - PopMatters
