the States. That’s why I made the decision to go to Maine by myself when I was fourteen." In regards to college, she said, "[Forming Superorganism] was a really big decision but you don’t get to decide when opportunities come. So I'll do this, and I can go to college any time I want." Robert Strange was Superorganism's original visual artist. As of late 2017, seven out of eight band members lived together in a large terraced house in the East End of London that doubles as a 24-hour studio. South Korean New Zealand background vocalist Soul (Earl Ho), is the only member to live apart from the group, residing in Sydney, Australia. An enlarged image of Soul's face often takes his place in group photographs. Going by the project name "CHI", Soul has also released material to a Bandcamp account of his own, playing the guitar and keyboard himself. In June 2018, Superorganism covered Hikaru Utada's as promotion for the release of her album Hatsukoi (2018). In October 2018, Superorganism embarked on a tour of the UK and Ireland with Japanese band Chai as their support. In January 2019, the Eversons were dumped from their record label, Lil' Chief Records, due to allegations dating from 2012 against Mark Turner (Emily), that "became common knowledge among the New Zealand indie music scene." The label released a statement saying they were against sexual misconduct and apologised unreservedly for not acting sooner. Some songs by the Eversons were controversial in New Zealand for their misogynistic and offensive content. Superorganism contributed the song "Hello Me & You" to the soundtrack of the film The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, released in February 2019. On 7 March 2022, Superorganism announced their second studio album, World Wide Pop, with a 15 July release date, alongside the release of the single "Teenager". It was also announced that Ruby, Turner and Robert Strange had left the band.
