This is a highly collectible test pressing of the record. It comes as is, without the finished artwork.

From beginning to end, the sparkling pop tunes off Claud Mintzs magnetic first album, Super Monster, capture the assorted stages of a relationships delight and dejectionthe giddy sensation of a first kiss during the beaming Overnight, the heartsick longing of a pending rejection during the yearning Jordan, the reluctant call for a requisite breakup during the smoldering Ana.

Id write about how I felt in the moment, then two months later, a year later. My perspective evolved on one relationship with the same person, Claud says. I changed so much that it feels like a different person writing some of these songsbut its just me.

The debut release on Phoebe Bridgers Saddest Factory Records, Super Monster is a vertiginous but joyous coming-of-age reckoning with such young love. Claud sees relationships as games of endless wonder, intrigue, and second-guesses, a roller-coaster thrilling you even when its terrifying. If Gold turns the tension and indecision of a bad match into an undeniable bit of lithe disco, Thats Mr. Bitch To You uses a spurt of righteous indignation to fuse a little soul and emo into one breathless hook. Super Monster is like a compulsive compilation that Claud culled from a lifetime of musical enthusiasmsthe arcing alt-rock of 90s airwaves, the rapturous pop of 00s chart-toppers, the diligent genre-hopping of modern online life. Claud emerges as the chameleonic mastermind of this mlange, channeling all of loves emotions into songs so sharp they make even the hardest times feel fun.
