about
"atmospheric ... title track, with rattle snake tambourine shakes, cinematic vistas and melting heat mirage guitar bends and tremolo – imagine a more subtle Heartless Bastards."

"the title track opens with a funky-stern naked beat crying out to be sampled, exotic production flourishes, sweeping strings, Mediterranean-warm key changes, and intoxicating singing."

"Curious Tourist wraps us in its smoky, smouldering atmosphere."

lyrics
You you you
I thought i was through
But this sticky affection
makes everything new
Unfamiliar and alien
Like a curious tourist
I wander around
Hoping to catch
A glimpse
Lost and disoriented
Like a spurious juvenile
Peregrine again
Looking for the space where you were.
I tried to breathe it all in
I tried to catch your infection
Waiting for you
In the waiting room
Those germs they just wouldn’t stick
I wander around hoping to catch a glimpse
I thought i was through
But this sticky affection
makes everything new
Unfamiliar and alien
Like a curious tourist
I wander around
Hoping to catch
A glimpse
Lost and disoriented
Like a spurious juvenile
Peregrine again
Looking for the space where you were.
I tried to breathe it all in
I tried to catch your infection
Waiting for you
In the waiting room
Those germs they just wouldn’t stick
I wander around hoping to catch a glimpse

about
Leah Callahan
“Callahan may have been making music as part of Boston’s music scene since the early 90s, but Super is so fresh, jagged and
new sounding, it’s hard to view her as a music veteran.”
Analogue Trash
"Alternative rock just as hellbent on being radio-friendly as it is original."
No Transmission
"Would probably go over the average pop-picker’s head, but that is their loss."

Leah Callahan recommends:
-
CMJ called it "a beautifully strange record... lodged tightly in the gorge that divides avant-pop & art-damaged rock, elusive & challenging enough to puzzle & enchant even the most fickle listeners"

Howcha Magowcha
by Turkish DelightMarc Masters (Bandcamp/ NPR / Wire / Pitchfork) says "Boston band Turkish Delight were a casualty of the slacker decade, but their music deserved to survive longer."
