SUPER NAPKIN - There's Nothing That Cannot Beat Me LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition orange colour vinyl.

Highly recommended.

Super Napkin is a fuzz-pop trio hailing from Taiwan. Feeling that their original name, “Super Nap Kid”, was a bit tired, they switched to “Super Napkin” in honor of their favorite superhero, Napkin Man, who zooms across the universe drying the tears of the sad and heartbroken. (In a pinch, he can also sop up your spilled milk.)

The project was conceived as a portrait of an artist beginning to grow old. It is veteran singer-songwriter-guitarist Matt Yau’s first stab at making music post-marriage (hint: it helps if your wife can play bass) and it has gifted him one more opportunity to revel in his roots.

Roots. As an 80’s kid born in the Taipei Basin, the drone of distant motorbikes and the soothing sounds of humming air conditioners comprised Yau’s early childhood ‘soundtrack’. So when he came of age in the Soulseek 56k baud modem era, it made perfect sense for him to fall right the heck in love with the equally droney sounds of Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, Eric's Trip, The Microphones, and My Bloody Valentine.
