Dec 21, 2010Suckers make this stylistic smorgasbord indisputably their own.
-
Suckers fire off Wild Smile, an album that exceeds all possible expectations and lays down a challenge for all debuting bands this year.
-
Sporting three singers/ multi-instrumentalists in Austin Fisher, Quinn Walker (Fisher's cousin), and Pan, along with drummer/ keyboardist Brian Aiken, there's a kaleidoscopic twist of fresh ideas throughout Wild Smile that offers something new with each trip through these tracks.
-
Wild Smile is wild indeed, the band's aesthetic and feel summed up perfectly by the cover art.
-
Disorienting at first spin, Wild Smile rewards by reconciling the easily digestible and the weird with each subsequent listen.
-
As ridiculously high as his [Quinn Walker's] voice may be, and even though it may take several spins to become acclimated to it, the melodies are sharp and enticing.
-
Wild Smile is awfully good, but it's really hard to explain what makes it that way.
