New EP Supernational Groove is Out on August fifteenth
Aug 14, 2025
Tomorrow, Nashville-based indie rock outfit Arts Fishing Membership are set to share their new EP, Supernational Groove. The band first debuted with their self-titled EP in 2015, adopted by a collection of latest EPs in subsequent years—Human – I and Human – II in 2018 and 2019, respectively, and The Present in 2021. The band returned with their first full-length album, Rothko Sky, in 2023, leaning into their rootsy undercurrents with heat manufacturing and nostalgic folks harmonies tempered by bluesy rock guitar work.
This yr, Arts Fishing Membership have been teasing their new EP with a handful of latest singles, “Supernatural Groove,” “New York Warmth,” and “Gary Busey,” all of which showcase new free, groovy, and summery angles to the band’s sound. Forward of the EP’s full launch, the band are sharing an early hearken to their new monitor, “Tongue Tied,” premiering with Below the Radar.
“Tongue Tied” hits on equally gentle and sun-dappled notes because the document’s previous singles, however does so with a a lot softer contact, encircling frontman Christopher Kessenich’s vocals in amber-hued acoustic fingerpicking. Though the tune steadily fills out with keys and spectral harmonies, the instrumentation stays ever slight, but invitingly intimate. In the meantime, Kessenrich’s hushed vocal efficiency provides a candy and plaintive centerpiece, mirroring the monitor’s tender lyrical shades: “I’ve been tongue-tied / Misplaced in ideas and dreaming / Drowning in your eyes / Recollections of brown and gold and blue / Just like the river we used to dive in / Again when all we knew was harmless.”
Kessenich says of the monitor, “Tongue tied is a riff and a tune that sat with me for five years after which fell out in half-hour. It’s about trying again and the way a lot the innocence of rising up imprints itself throughout our past love(s).”
Try the tune beneath together with the band’s upcoming tour dates. “Tongue Tied” is out in every single place tomorrow, August fifteenth, together with the total EP, Supernational Groove.
