Super American Eagle is a turbo-charged rock trio comprised of Immigrant Union members Brent DeBoer (The Dandy Warhols) on drums, singer/guitarist Bob Harrow, and Dave Mudie (L.A. Mood, the Courtney Barnett band) on bass.

The band’s origin can be traced back to a one-off Immigrant Union performance in a stripped-down three-piece format in New York in the early 2020s. That night, the chemistry was undeniable, and Super American Eagle soon took flight. From a lightning moment of musical connection, the band has built a thrilling, fuzz-filtered sound of urgent and essential psych and super heavy rock, and three-part harmonies with Bob’s chainsaw lead vocal cutting through the middle. It’s heavy music with hooks in its teeth.

Following up their debut 2023 self-titled album, and this year’s heavy, psych-sludge groove of a single, ‘Anxiety Nightie‘, the band release ‘Slowly Fade’.

Imagine if Black Sabbath had arisen from the Californian desert or The Melvins grew up surfing the Victorian coastline! Super-fuzz and distortion drench the guitar strings, as the band hit a heavy groove before diverting into a psychedelic, exploratory breakdown.

Like a few songs on Super American Eagle’s forthcoming second album, the song speaks of Bob Harrow’s physical and mental near-death experience. “I accidentally found myself in a week-long induced coma last year – a coma by all medical accounts I should not have come out of… ‘had to break the spell, had to kick in the gates of hell’.”

“Musically the song is the biggest journey we’ve ever been on as a band – breakdowns and shit, we’ve never done that before. I suppose it’s a sonic metaphor for the journey I went on during the coma…and far out did I go on a journey. I was dreaming (if it can be called that) the entire time that I was in a coma.”

The brilliant video clip for the single was created once more by Little Richard’s Almanac, an art collective founded by Ron Laboray and Niki Elliott in Asheville, North Carolina. Their animations are stream-of-consciousness collages responding to the musician’s contributed track.
