History

Supermilk released its first EP Hello? Yes this is Supermilk... in 2017 via Keroleen Records.[1] A second EP, Rare Delusions, followed in 2019.[2]

Shortly after the dissolution of Popyura's band Doe, Supermilk announced the release of its debut album.[3] [4] Several live shows were scheduled but later cancelled due to the global coronavirus pandemic.[5] Death Is the Best Thing for You Now was released on 27 March 2020.[6]

Unable to perform live due to the UK's COVID-19 restrictions, Popyura spent much of 2020 writing the project's second full-length album.[7] Recorded in December the same year with producer Rich Mandell of Me Rex, Four by Three was released via Specialist Subject Records on 2 July 2021.[8] The album was placed at number 2 in Good Morning America's 50 Best Albums of 2021.[9]

Supermilk started performing live in 2022, with Popyura joined by Sophie MacKenzie (Cheerbleederz), Em Foster (Nervus) and Jay Cavalier (Personal Best).[10] [11] A live album, Live from Rad Apples, was released on 15 July 2022 via Specialist Subject Records.[12]

The band released the double single Jessica's Army/Ribcage in May 2023—the first Supermilk release to feature musicians other than Popyura[13] —and were support for the UK leg of Algernon Cadwallader's European tour in June.[14] MacKenzie left the group in November, with Charlie Jamison joining on guitar.[15]

In January 2024 Popyura disclosed his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a rare and terminal neurodegenerative disorder, via the band's Instagram account.[16] Following shows with Speedy Ortiz and Cheekface, Supermilk announced the project's third LP, High Precision Ghosts,[17] and shared the album's lead single Sweat.[18]
