Suckers - Suckers EP


(8)

Sucker's first EP containing their only 4 officially released songs is now more than a year old and I find my self still constantly playing it. It was the best unheard of release of last spring for sure. It's kind of the guitar pop of Yeasayer mixed with the weirdness of the Talking Heads.

Beach Queen has an echo-y tropical vibe. Afterthoughts & TV is my personal favorite, a drunken sing along. Easy Chairs is just the most care free and innocent song and the closing ballad It Gets Your Body Movin' sounds like it should be the epically epic encore of a really long LP, so it sounds a little out of place. All the tracks are sunny as hell.

Suckers are just another t'ake on today's indie scene except their fresh. I can't really place my finger on what it is exactly that makes the stand out. Of course, the EP is only 4 songs, but four out of four amazing track aint bad. We'll have to see what their upcoming LP sounds like.
