Ferris & Sylvester - 'Superhuman'

Alternative folk duo Ferris & Sylvester have astonished us before with their anthemic and open-hearted folk pop songs, and are now back with the release of their new single ‘Superhuman’! The track comes with a powerful and lively music video.

To those that have experienced the duo live before, ‘Superhuman’ will sound familiar as it has been part of the duo's live set for a while now. With a reduced amount of live gigs, this single and video came at exactly the right time, or possibly a little late. However, it’s here and we are excited to finally be able to listen to ‘Superhuman’ on repeat. The single is a stubborn and upbeat alternative folk pop track with grand and passionate vocals and a thumping soundscape.

‘Superhuman’ is one of Ferris & Sylvester’s most fast paced and vigorous tracks, certainly compared to previously released singles ‘Flying Visit’ and ‘Sickness’, both being a lot less riff-filled and sounding like bittersweet folk pop songs. ‘Superhuman’ shows another side of the two, a more rocking one that balances out their discography. It is a song drenched in anger, rage and hunger and a great introduction to the couple’s world: “This song has always felt like an introduction into our world,” they explain, “we don’t pretend to be this perfect couple, nor have we ever been interested in portraying that. No story is a straight line.”

It is the passion in their eyes and movement that make the video accompanying the single such a strong one, as we think that creating a captivating music video is quite the task and not many succeed. Ferris & Sylvester know how to create one such video, stayed close to themselves and brought us a pure and fascinating piece of art!
