Supernatural started to work on tracks and songs in 1991, after touring and recording with different Artists and projects. Some of these sessions later led to their first album 'The Calling' (October 1998). Tracks of 'The Calling' quickly occupied ambient radio stations although the original intent was to create music to visuals without paying too much attention to commercial radio. The tracks of Supernatural's first album have been described as mood music, leading you to places in your heart, mind and soul.
Both Peter Wolf (vocals, guitars) & Thomas Kraemer (keys, bass, guitars, production) have been creating sound scapes to visuals and appreciate their music being used in commercials and independent films.
The recent album 'Bad Day' (May 2005) marked the Band's return to ambient Pop/Rock tunes with melodic hooks crying out loud for airplay on both sides of the Atlantic. Tracks like "I don't wanna know" or 'Bad Day' as well as the moody ballads on Supernatural's second record secured the Duo a small but faithful following.
Although the members of Supernatural have been living on different continents and while tracks of 'Bad Day' continue to getting frequent spins on commercial radio, Supernatural have finished producing their new album 'Never give up'. After 18 months of writing, recording and fine tuning, which included recording sessions in the US and Europe, Supernatural's much anticipated third album has been released March 2007. 'Never give up' continues with ambient, melodic Pop/Rock songs manifesting their quest to writing and producing supernatural music across borders and even continents. The title track 'Never give up'was written for Germany's National soccer team and the Fifa World Cup 2006.
Supernatural have often been compared to Artists such as Howie Day, Coldplay, U2, Tom Petty or Peter Gabriel.
Two of their latest tracks 'Open arms' (single) and "How' (album 'Never give up') have been selected for Germany's 'NewPop2007' sampler (released September 23, 2007 at the Berlin PopKomm). All Supernatural albums are available at www.cdbaby.com, iTunes and many other download sites.
Supernatural have started to writing and recording songs for their new album 'open arms'.

Supernatural – 'Never Give Up' By Ara Ajizian, Harmony Central, May 16, 2007
"Supernatural's third effort, Never Give Up, is the result of 18 months of cross-continent writing and recording by the duo's members, Peter Wolf and Thomas Kraemer. In spite of this, the album is a remarkably cohesive effort, both musically and lyrically. From the ambient hooks and lush melodies to the recurring themes of perseverance in the face of adversity, the songs consistently deliver throughout the album's 45 minutes"
Rick Landers, Modern Guitars magazine, April 16, 2007
"Supernatural's third outing, Never Give Up offers up catchy hooks that will have you singing along with most of the tracks the first time you load it. There's a familiarity of melodic strengths reminiscent of music past, but throughout, the group keeps things fresh and uniquely their own and show a talent for crafting good music. Lead vocalist, Peter Wolf, and the other half of Supernatural, Tom Kraemer, push their digital talents through cyberspace in this international collaborative work. From the first song, you'll get caught up and start humming along or joining in on chorus. That's enough to make this CD worth getting and plopping it in your car's player for a long distance drive".

"Das neue Album des Duos Peter Wolf (voc/g) und Thomas Kraemer (comp, b, dr, kb, g) heisst 'Never give up' – und diese Produktion gehoert ganz klar zu den positiven musikalischen Ueberraschungen dieses CD-Monats: Warum? Spaetestens ab track4, 'How', und dem folgenden 'Too far' wird klar, dass man so wunderbar schwebende Songs nur selten erlebt. Und auch das, wie die Album opener, noch eher an aeltere Supernatural loves Tom Petty Songs erinnernde 'This time' hat diese Leichtigkeit – aber ebenso ganz viel Raum, Tiefe, Sehnsucht und alle diese feinen Sachen dahinter. Mein Favorit bleibt ein fuer die Kraft dieses Albums prototypischer Song wie 'How' – aber nicht wegender lyrics, der Produktion, des Bass-Sounds oder der gelungenen Gitarren-Arbeit von PRS Player Peter Wolf: Da schwingt einfach ueber all dem etwas mit von diesem groesseren Ding, wegen dem wir uns alle nicht so egomanisch wichtig nehmen sollten. Dankbarkeit? Something supernatural eben…Ein klasse Album!".
Never Give Up/album review Guitar player magazine, January 2008 issue, by Michael Molenda
"Pure guitar playing is wonderful, of course, and we all adore stunning examples of technique and tone. Perhaps a less-appreciated aspect of guitarcraft is using the instrument to convey the emotional landscape of a work. On Never Give Up, Supernatural guitarist Peter Wolf—along with keyboard- and bass-playing compatriot Thomas Kraemer—gives a master class on matching vibey textures to the narrative ebb-and-flow of a song. It's a pretty exhilarating lesson, as Wolf's electric arpeggios, distorted slashes, and edgy single-note lines combine with his sparkling acoustic playing to underscore the movement of the duo's melodic and fastidiously produced pop tunes. One danger with an album so well constructed sonically and compositionally is that might implode into Muzak. But Wolf and Kraemer serve up a few surprises in each song—such as churning ambient stutters and punkish splatters—that keep the listening experience slightly off center. It's a good strategy, and it serves to make the material all the more lovely and beguiling".
