Super Mirage plays dance-ready indie pop with a flair for theatrics. Called 'quirky indie pop' (New York Magazine), 'macabre rock that takes audiences on a tuneful tour of dark places' (The Village Voice), and 'a quartet of jolly swell dudes having a rollicking time embracing pop sensibilities but with a decidedly wicked twist' (MyFizzyPop), Super Mirage is, above all, music you can move your body to. The Super Mirage philosophy: life is hard and short, so party now before it's all over.
