Superfan
Superfan is the songwriting veil of Kali Priya Flanagan, Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and producer. Initially imagined as a solo act, ambitious string arrangements crafted in collaboration with cellist Omeed Almassi have come to define Superfan’s noisy and magnetic pop soundscape. Having just signed with London based label AD93 (Joanne Robertson, YHWH Nailgun, Dagmar Zuniga), the three recent singles — “Miss W Jones,” “Apeiron (Fantasy Football),” and “Picture Of Return” — mark the birth of “Acousticello.” With newfound security and unencumbered vision, Kali trades literalism for fragmented, impressionistic lyricism, channeling love-torn ballads through obscured imagery and literary fluency that reflect a deeper confidence in both his words and his voice.

Kali cites albums such as 1996 by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Parasol by The Sea and Cake, The Greatest by Cat Power, Trust by Low, and Hvarf/Heim by Sigur Rós as inspiration, alongside the vocal stylings of Elizabeth Fraser, Beth Gibbons, Rufus Wainwright, and Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays. His signature guitar tone, brooding voice, and knack for impactful live arrangement have led to co-writing/production, covers, and live performance cameos for the likes of Operelly, Jordan Patterson, and Quiet Light.

In addition to opening for The Strokes at Red Rocks Amphitheatre via a direct invitation from Julian Casablancas, Superfan has shared stages with Quiet Light, Knifeplay, Kath Bloom, Horsegirl, Userband, Samba Jean-Baptiste, Zoh Amba, PARKiNG, Brittle Brian (of @), Tiberius B, Autobahn, untitled (halo), voyeur, Birdfeeder, Racing Mount Pleasant, and many other tastemakers.
