Dutch Courage by Superswell published on 2023-01-03T23:21:14Z Superswell’s sophomore single, “Dutch Courage”, is a satirical ode to booze. Despite its heavy message about using alcohol to cope with social anxiety, the song evokes nostalgia for crowded college dorm parties. It’s evident that the band channels Nirvana with this track, but with thrashy guitar runs and lush extended chords during the choruses, the song demonstrates innovation. “Dutch Courage” is also the last song recorded at historic Sabella Studios (Marcy Playground, Public Enemy) before a freak fire ravaged the building only hours after their session. Much of the unique vintage equipment that they used perished. In a way, this lore plays into the song’s haunting tone. A special thanks goes to engineer/producer Matt Murphy for not only working on this track but also for rescuing their gear. Genre Alternative Rock
