Backspacer (Supergroove album)

Backspacer was the last studio album by the New Zealand rock band Supergroove. It was released in 1996 by RCA Records. Before recording, creative differences saw rapper Che Ness leave to pursue a solo career, along with trumpeter Tim Stewart. The album is musically very different from their first, being less funk and more straight rock, with a darker and more melancholy feeling in songs like "Dear Mother (Don't Let Me Go)", "This Stupid Grin" and "The Decline and Fall of Us Both."

Supergroove toured the album without Che Ness but due to poor reception and sales of the record and without Che Ness, Supergroove broke up soon after in 1997.

Three singles were released from the album, "Only Ever You", "If I Had My Way" (a top 10 hit) and "5th Wheel".

gollark: No, Go is. It broke containment.
gollark: ```Little known fact: GHC compiles code by literally emailing it to the sixth circle of Hell, so no one knows how it works, not even the Type-level Deacons and other curators of scripture. The email address was revealed to the Haskell committee one moonless night when they sacrificed Simon Peyton Jones in an unholy ritual that they reenact every year at the monadic.party. The present-day SPJ is actually a decoy hired by FP Complete to preserve the illusion that anyone in the community even has a clue as to how to build working software.```
gollark: Well, things with more *features* might be slower.

gollark: ... not that I know of.
