Superfan in Hafenklang

Superfan is the songwriting veil of Kali Priya Flanagan, Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and prodigal son. Kali began studying music at age four and writing songs at age eleven, signing his first record deal at age fourteen while refining his singular musicality across piano, drums, bass, upright, and violin. Now twenty-one, and having just signed with London based label AD93 (Joanne Robertson, YHWH Nailgun, Dagmar Zuniga), Superfan is set to release the sophomore album My Piledriver Heart (MPDH). The album marks the birth of “Acousticello”, the extensive live collaboration between Flanagan and cellist Omeed Almassi, which has defined Superfan’s performances and recordings over the past two years. MPDH captures the duo’s ambitious string arrangements with naturalistic intent and pop magnetism. If Superfan’s critically acclaimed 2024 debut, Tow Truck Jesus [The FADER, Office, Flaunt, Alt Press], captured the raw immediacy of emotions surrounding the throes of his transition in direct and deeply personal terms, this sophomore album operates differently. MPDH operates differently. Spanning ten tracks, MPDH is a mature and melancholic record that explores aspects of the interpersonal and intrapersonal from the vantage point of a man no longer in transition.
