Superheaven draw from the same shoegaze-indebted Pennsylvania well as Nothing and Title Fight. Don't let their hardcore-bred contemporaries confuse you; Superheaven aims for late-'90s/early-'00s radio rock with their hyper-affected sonic palette and clearly drawn melodies. While the aforementioned Title Fight and other outfits have validated the textures of '90s post-Nirvana guitar pop, Superheaven pull off the sound with the emotional depth of a guitar rig rundown video. 2015's Ours Is Chrome hones the pop elements, recalling elements of the Breeders' freak hit Last Splash, but Superheaven seem more intent on showcasing their massive sound than on making pop with it. Tone is in the fingers, man. MAC POGUE
