It feels like these days you can describe a band one of two ways, vocal harmonies or no vocal harmonies. Suckers has got the harmonies, boy do they got ‘em. A relatively buzzed band in the late summer of ’09 Suckers have seemed to fade a bit since the release of their Suckers EP. Granted they had a huge song entitled “It Gets Your Body Movin’ ” and it’s pretty tough to follow up such a hit on a four song EP, but what they’ve done I am really into. In the least corny way possible Suckers blends 1980′s pop and rhythms with some strange and fluttering dissonant guitar and bass patterns, and again, what a voice! When you have a band in which everyone plays everything there is a lot of room for experimenting and this defiantly happens on Suckers EP, synths galore paired with some horns, some yelps and enough bleep bloops to make a believer out of any AnCo fan. Things never get to hectic which is something I’m liking more and more these days, I’m able to sit back and enjoy (see: Am I Old?) but still have a bit of a mind melt. Think of nursing your baby to sleep with Valium cut with acid. Relaxing yet still psychedelic. Here are two tracks by Suckers, one from their new Suckers EP and one from a Daytrotter session that I loved.
