Superfan

Superfan is the alter ego of Kali Priya Flanagan, a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and producer. Originally conceived as a solo project, the ambitious string arrangements developed in collaboration with cellist Omeed Almassi have grown into a defining element of Superfan’s buzzing and magnetic pop sound. Kali cites albums such as '1996' by Ryuichi Sakamoto, 'Parasol' by The Sea and Cake, 'The Greatest' by Cat Power, 'Trust' by Low, and 'Hvarf/Heim' by Sigur Rós as major sources of inspiration, alongside the vocal styles of Elizabeth Fraser, Beth Gibbons, Rufus Wainwright, and Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays. The American songwriter performs at Cinetol. Acousticello

After signing with the London-based label AD 93 (Joanne Robertson, YHWH Nailgun, Dagmar Zuniga), the three recent singles 'Miss W Jones', 'Apeiron (Fantasy Football)', and 'Picture Of Return' mark the birth of 'Acousticello'. With a renewed sense of certainty and an uninhibited artistic vision, Kali exchanges literal lyrics for fragmented, impressionistic poetry. Heartbreak is translated into ballads full of veiled imagery and literary finesse, reflecting a deeper conviction in both his words and his voice.

His distinctive guitar sound, dark vocal tone, and talent for impressive live arrangements have led to collaborations in songwriting, production, covers, and guest appearances for artists such as Operelly, Jordan Patterson, and Quiet Light.
