Introducing ‘Eulo Cramps’, Call Super’s fourth album that sits at the epicentre of a multifaceted project titled ‘Tell Me I Didn’t Choose This’ that draws on poetry, auto-biographical writing, painting and music.‘Eulo Cramps’ lands digitally and on vinyl via Can You Feel The Sun on Friday 6th October 2023. Melting improv, free jazz and the distinctive sound Call Super has perfected over the years with the helping hand of the invention of their ‘eharp’, ‘Eulo Cramps’ is a channel where the producer-artist exorcised trauma and epiphanies around their own coming-of-age story. The album began as a way 2 to understand themselves and their past; the intricacies of their personal suffering and their relationship with their body. Although it derives from the personal, while in the creative process, Seaton’s mind often wandered to the green foliage settings of sprawling forests. These memory trees evoke an earthy quality to the album as it glitters with the calmness of inner peace, much like dabbled light filtering through trees Seaton so often visited in their mind's eye.The paintings series (which will be exhibited at a later date) tied to ‘Tell Me I Didn’t Choose This’ express these ideas more deeply, the canvas acting as a physical space for self-interrogation. To explore their own multiplicity and to connect with other selves inside them was to reflect and ask questions like are we products of conscious choices or are hopeless chances thrust upon us. On this journey, Seaton considered if we kill off different versions of ourselves along the way or do those multitudes continue to haunt us in the present? The answer comes as a form of metamorphosis, self-acceptance and the need for real human connection. One to usually remain in solitude whilst producing, on this new album Seaton breaks this rule and invites the distinctive voices of Julia Holter and Eden Samara to add their ethereal elemental resonance on tracks “Sapling” and “Illumina” - the latter already noted as a Pitchfork favourite.
