Austin's Indie Pop sensations TC Superstar are excited to announce their new album Static Dynamic is out now. Static Dynamic is a groovy disco-infused project showcasing a new sonic palette from one of Austin's most beloved performers. In 7-tracks, the album is a story of romantic relationships and Mars colonization all in one.

TC Superstar’s newest record, Static Dynamic, explores the dissolution of a romance, an occupation, a home, and humanity. The concept behind the album is inspired by the idea of colonizing Mars. Connor explains, “I wanted to imagine the effects of a Mars work-assignment on a romantic relationship to explore the severance the characters experience from each other’s reality.”

The title Static Dynamic is a reference to both halves of the album’s narrative. In the first half, one character remains static on Earth while the other character travels from Earth to Mars. The second half of the record revolves around our Martian’s static work life, while the earthbound character’s life continues on its own dynamic path.

With their new record, TC Superstar strays away from their traditional tonalities and reaches for a more disco leaning sound. For fans of TC Superstar, the album maintains the synocpated grooves, irresistable melodies, and purposeful storytelling that the group is known for. "It’s still dance music, it’s still conceptual, it’s still narrative driven," says Connor.

Formed in 2017, TC Superstar is a collaborative performance group based out of Austin, TX. Frontperson Connor McCampbell draws inspiration from contemporary bedroom pop with hints of 80s synthwave and late 70s dance music. Connor is joined by a cast of talented musicians: Julio Correa, Mitchell Webb, Aaron Chavez, and Ateen Savadkoohi.

TC Superstar established a loyal following thanks to their distinctive live shows which feature dynamic dance routines by LB Flett, Emily DiFranco, Francis Rodriguez, Yuriko Roby, and Andie Duong. TC Superstar’s fun, upbeat music and high energy live experience has garnered them millions of streams and allowed them to share stages with acclaimed acts like Mac Demarco, Frankie Cosmos, Video Age, !!!, Capyac, De Lux, Dayglow, Tennis, Sidney Gish, SG Lewis, and many more.
