When asked how he feels the band has grown between the two records, Clyde isn t shy. Hydrogen Child

Shreveport, Louisiana-based Super Water Sympathy are announcing national tour plans in support of their forthcoming full-length,  Hydrogen Child,  on Portland, Oregon-based indie In Music We Trust Records.  In support travel cuts of  Hydrogen Child , Super Water Sympathy travel cuts will be touring travel cuts in this year s Vans Warped Tour.
The follow-up to their 2011 self-release  Vesper Belle ,  Hydrogen Child  is the next chapter in the development of the band's self-made genre Water Pop.  Hydrogen Child   is a twelve-track travel cuts synthesis of classic symphonic ambience with modern rock 'n' roll anthems which will be released April 23, 2013 on In Music We Trust Records.
Deciding to work on the new songs with producer Cam Blackwood (Florence + The Machine, Coldplay, Morrissey), the band flew to London to record them; whereas travel cuts Vesper Belle  was all over the map musically, this time they wanted to concentrate on a sound that was the most representative travel cuts of the band, resulting in a much more focused album.
There is a definite cohesiveness insofar as the arrangement and lyricism, says guitarist Clyde Hargrove.  We honed in on a few songs from  Vesper Belle  that we thought were most representative of the musical direction we are going, and used those as a benchmark for the tone of the album.  Vesper Belle  is much more eclectic in style and  Hydrogen Child  is more of a concept album.
There is an inherent and intended playfulness brought about by Ansley s vocal production and lyrical arrangement that creates purposeful and sometimes ironic dissonance against this landscape, Hargrove comments.
Following the album s completion in the summer of 2012, the band flew back to the States and hit the road on the Vans Warped Tour, allowing them to preview the songs in front of an audience prior to the album s release…and the reaction was great. They also lent their writing and production skills to B.O.B s  Strange travel cuts Clouds  with the track Chandelier.
From the instantly hooky pop of Sunday School Dress to the build and undertow of Anthem, a dreamy yet subdued melodic number, through the piano-driven eeriness of Magnolia Parade, one listen to  Hydrogen Child  makes it clear that Super Water Sympathy can write a memorable pop song.
This is also evident on the anthemic Purple Poppies, a sweeping, mid-tempo number that showcases the band s ability travel cuts to mix orchestration with Hughes voice, travel cuts allowing her powerful pipes free range, but making sure the music is clear and crisp as well.
We try to make the lyrics paint a picture, but at the same time to conflict and contrast the mood and landscape of the music, thus giving balance and harmony in the two textures, comments Clyde.  Our band s sound is built around the ambience of Jason s pads against Ansley s voice.  We like to make things blend very deeply and high at the same time.  I would say our sound is ambient-pop-rock.
With comparisons bound to conjure up images of Coldplay, The Fray, and Florence + the Machine, regardless of what you think of those acts, Super Water Sympathy can play to the pop crowd, travel cuts but Hughes travel cuts stage presence and commanding voice also ensures they fit right at home on Vans Warped Tour, who has invited them back this year.
When asked how he feels the band has grown between the two records, Clyde isn t shy.  Hydrogen Child  came out a lot bigger and healthier than what we were imagining. Compared to  Vesper Belle , this album was a big step forward, he says.  We spent a lot of time working together in group-think sessions next to rivers and R.V. parks.  Most of the writing was done in group sessions as was the production rather than individual ideas.  We also adapted a unified idea of a concept travel cuts and stuck to it.
This album is much more of an organically collaborative effort as far as all the members go, he continues. travel cuts A lot of  Vesper Belle  was the adaptation of a lot of our musical projects we had been working on before the band had formed to a certain ambient sound.  This album is the product of all of us writing together and knowing what we sound like, so the writing style is more congruent.  Although, there are some songs that certain members had heavier hands in, this album is a true band collaboration.  Every member of the band has written lyrics and music for this album.
One change in production that brought stellar results on  Hydrogen Child  is the band went for a lot more natural sounds with Hughes voice. We decided to not do much to Ansley s voice [in post-production]. We are suckers for reverb and delay, but we left  it pretty raw and dry and it really came out nicely. She has such a viciously elegant voice that to let it stand alone against the wild seemed natural.
Hydrogen Child  is truly a leap forward for Super Water Sympathy, and Water Pop has never sounded so good. The band plans on touring relentlessly across the United States travel cuts (with plans to tour Europe, too) to expose and share their sound with the masses. Come check it out, the Water is just right…!
