Supraluxe is a Minneapolis trio. Members Jim Risser, Bob Burns and Rich Pearson created the debut CD "Supraluxe" entirely in the humble confines of a home studio in St. Paul. By wrapping themes of loss, anxiety, alienation and love in the gloss of shiny summerpop, Supraluxe has created an exuberant, melancholy work. Supraluxe was borne out of a lifelong commitment to musical exploration. For Jim, Bob and Rich, a weekly jam session called Rock Club that included a rotating cast of up to 12 musicians and a range of instrumentations quickly evolved into a project with a unique shape and form. Supraluxe moved out of the practice space and into the studio to capture their work and formalize song structure. The trio started delving into a shared interest in creating music that recognized deep and diverse musical passions while offering something new to the American musical landscape. Incorporating digital recording technology with classic rock guitars and orchestral arrangements, their CD recalls influences as diverse as Elliot Smith, early Todd Rundgren and David Bowie. The Album "Supraluxe" by Supraluxe contains 11 songs, and was officially released 1/1/2006. Engineered and produced by Bob Burns and mastered by Dave Wesley (www.sursumcorda.com), the CD also features guest musician Jeff Budin. This debut is a surprisingly mature and self-assured first work. Meticulous, lush and melodic, the album pulses with light and exudes a dark energy that is undeniable. Supraluxe carves out new classic melodies with a cohesive vision, and they have created a song cycle that is accomplished and complete.
