Only recently (while chasing a runaway grape, which stopped rolling at the bottom shelf of CDs) did I reconnect with this once forgotten gem from 1992. One of those inspired one-shots that I don't remember seeing any videos for and they never gained much buzz, so no second album ever showed up. Supreme Love Gods were an alternative rock group from Fresno, California who released their debut EP on One Little Indian in late 1991. Their only full-length release was this self-titled album released by Def American in 1992.
The sound is a sorta funky, sorta trippy, very much of their time (just pre-grunge in a brit rock vein). Little bits of Happy Mondays, Lightning Seeds, Stone Roses, EMF, Soup Dragons all pop up, but their groove is all their own. Maybe being so obscure saved them from the coke fuelled egomania of most of their peers. For while the songs here are consistently strong, the album flows beautifully together into a hypnotic whole. Trippy but catchy, mellow but entrancing This is one of the rare albums I'll usually play through start to finish, it's well worth seeking out.
They began working on a new album in 1993 but broke up while recording it.
