Superfan AKA: Kali Flanagan, shares his new single “Twilight Living.” The track is accompanied by a video directed by G.W. Sailor. The new song was written during a state of dissociation following a minor car accident. The single explores Flanagan’s experiences in LA through a state of hyper self-awareness, navigating the often superficial landscape without true emotional support and how it led to feelings of shame and a deep desire for anonymity. Superfan’s personal reflections written into songs bare all like raw nerves, bravely telling the story of his own coming of age with a sense of wisdom that feels many years removed from its events. Those stories, including previous singles “Your Desire in Food,” “Sewn Up and Handsome,” and “75 Germany,” all off Superfan’s debut album Tow Truck Jesus, out June 28th via Nettwerk.

Written between the Falls of 2022 and 2023, Tow Truck Jesus is 11 intricate chronological songs that capture Flanagan undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy and coming of age as a young man, with his voice settling into a gravelly lower register as well as finding comfort in young adulthood and his relationship with himself and love. The new music features overdriven detuned guitars and Casio keyboards with a charming likeness to the intimate indie rock of the 2000s.

Tow Truck Jesus, features the projection work of Gabriel Wax (Soccer Mommy, Adrianne Lenker). He opted to restrict himself to a single instrument during the songwriting phase and gradually build out the songs. The results are raw and stripped-down songs that amplify his exceptional voice and lyrics, anchored by the levity of the album’s title, which stems from a shared jest between Flanagan and his father, Patrick, who joked that when the hitch of a tow truck is raised, it resembles a cross.
