KEY INFORMATION

• Seattle-born/LA-based artist, producer, and multiinstrumentalist Max Bennett Kelly has shared his summer-soaked alt single & music video “Superinlove (Roll Credits),” the introduction to the world of Max’s debut forthcoming EP Junk Male, out this summer. With “Superinlove,” Max imagines himself to be the protagonist of a romantic comedy, but a melancholy one where he doesn’t get the girl. He takes us through a retrospective of their tumultuous odyssey of a relationship, which spanned across the city of Los Angeles and sprawled and ambled like the city itself. To Max, his relationship with this Supercool artist girl is fundamentally intertwined with his relationship with LA. While the drama of dating a fellow artist initially inspired Max, it ended up distracting him from why he moved to the city in the first place - music. “Instead of writing music, I was going to parties, chasing this girl, and making myself unhappy,” he admits. “I became the worst version of myself. ‘Superinlove’ is the epilogue to the story, and it’s all in past tense.”
