Description
Super G is the sole album by the American ambient project kuxh, independently released in July 2015. Featuring “alternative instrumental space rock”.
2015 marked the 20th Anniversary of the Prayer Chain’s Mercury, and the band celebrated by launching a successful Kickstarter campaign to release the landmark album on vinyl for the first time. While the events surrounding the Mercury anniversary were marked by much social media, press, a reunion show, and house parties, some of the members of the band celebrated in another way: they recorded and released Super G. Strangely, they didn’t tell anyone about it. The members of the Prayer Chain and Cush had everyone’s attention more than they have in years this past summer, but instead of taking the opportunity to promote Super G, they instead changed the spelling of their band name and failed to promote the album in any way. Ironically, Super G sounds more like Mercury than anything Prickett, Campuzano and company have released in the 20 years since. There are no vocals to be found, but otherwise Prickett’s guitar work and overall sounds are strikingly similar, while being fresh and original. This is right up there with the best post-rock of the present day (Mogwai, Hammock, Explosions in the Sky), yet it is probable only a few dozen people have ever heard Super G.
