THE internet-born origin of Superorganism has already become a winning bit of self mythology for the nascent London-based eight-piece.

And it goes like this: band meets fan touring in Japan. An internet friendship is born. A few years down the road band asks fan (now 17 and attending boarding school in Maine) to sing on a demo they had.

The result is a fizzy, immensely likeable slice of genre-bending DIY pop called ‘Something For Your M.I.N.D’, buoyed by an inscrutably deadpan vocal and a winsome combination of dusty break-beats and triumphant slide guitar.

‘Something For Your M.I.N.D’ gets posted on the internet. The internet seems to collectively lose its mind, and rumours begin flying about the band, especially due to the lack of press photos or info.

Where did this all come from? Was the singer really a 17-year-old living in Maine? How did this bizarre aesthetic, based equally on ’90s slacker-indie and viral internet genre Vapourwave, combine so seamlessly together?

To find the answers you have to go back to the past. Really far back.
