Using truly underground recording methods such as obsolete effects pedals, slow speed tape dubs and a wide array of odd gadgets as their arsenal, super 5 thor sets out to throw a warm blanket over the listener, luring them into that beautiful numb part of the unconscious that makes the knots go away in the back of your neck or causes you to miss your exit on the freeway as you drive in a trance through the dark at 3:30 a.m.

Eerie vocals plow along, bending around sub-sonic guitar washes, lazy drums and a specter-like bass, uniquely mixed with sparse, affected production to create the band's other-worldly sounds.

Retaining the blur of inspiration, first take run-throughs are often used as a skeleton track to build songs on. Stripped down to the simple root of their seductive melody with honest lyrics telling of the road less traveled, super 5 thor formed as a creative outlet for a group of musicians who felt stifled by the current trend of homogenized alternative music and who strive for a more avant-garde form of realism in their songwriting and design.

Like taking a late night ride just for kicks down a thick, slowly flowing freeway that sucks you down under tow, super 5 thor is the last ultra-violet haze off a street light humming by the corner of your eye.
