Something For Kate - Supercomputer - Song Review

REVIEW BY: JADE GUIDA

Aussie rockers Something For Kate have revealed the title of their seventh studio album The Modern Medieval which is scheduled for release November 20th. This will be the band's first release since 2012’s Leave Your Soul To Science. 

This morning the band released a single from the album, “Supercomputer”. The track is an amalgamation of sounds, ethereal synth, haunting piano melodies which is cut through with jarring guitar. The song is perfectly balanced, it hits all the right notes. Paul Dempsey is an evocative story teller, this is something that is apparent through all music he has had a hand in creating. Everything in this song just fits together in a way that you both don’t expect and yet makes so much sense. The song has an entrancing quality, you get lost in the complex matrix of its composition. 

“It’s about the hidden rooms inside your brain where things sit in the dark gathering dust,” Dempsey remarks, “until you fall asleep and dream and it’s like someone stormed into one of those rooms and turned all the lights on.”. The true mastery of this piece is in how subtly the music has been created to communicate Dempsey’s vision.
