It’s possible that the term “supergroup” gets applied too frequently these days. For example, despite what was widely reported, this writer’s collaboration with a ferret on a YouTube video did not constitute a supergroup.

But when Adam Franklin from Swervedriver and Sam Fogarino from Interpol get together, then it does constitute a combination of individuals (read: group) that is, indeed, super. The two are releasing a debut EP on April 19 as Magnetic Morning. The name corresponds nicely to the group’s sound, which is both languid and edgy.

Franklin and Fogarino will be touring in the spring of 2008, and the tracklist for their self-titled EP (out on DH records) is as follows:

1. Yesterday's Flowers
2. The Way Love Used to Be (The Kinks cover)
3. Don't Go To Dreams State
4. Cold War Kids (Get Claudius)
5. Cold War Kids
