SUCKERS
it gets your body movin' / out on the water
Release Date: 19/10/2009
suckers are quinn walker, austin fisher, pan and brian aiken. all four men are on a mission to break musical barriers and cultivate something new while maintaining a classic pop accessibility.
suckers merged as the sound and aesthetic of three one-man bands playing together. pan, quinn and austin each played multiple instruments per song: singing, shouting and chanting in unison. the trio knew they were missing something or someone, and thankfully, that person arrived in drummer / keyboardist brian aiken, fresh off a year abroad in hungary. once brian was on board, the band hit their stride, packing local venues and sharing bills with friends and kindred spirits in yeasayer, mgmt, dragons of zynth, chairlift, kyp malone and awesome color, among others. their heralded live performances feature group singing, primal beats, future sounds, serbian interpretative dancers, trumpet blasts, religious truths and sheer enjoyment.
quinn walker released 2008's acclaimed solo double-album, 'laughter's an asshole' / 'lionland', on voodoo-eros, cocorosie's label. anyone familiar with quinn's solo work or the other principles of suckers will discover themselves enmeshed in a lush, more dense tapestry of sound, style and imagination with 'it gets your body movin', which was produced by yeasayer's anand wilder. it comes from their stateside-released, self-titled ep, which has launched them to global acclaim via outlets such as rolling stone, pitchfork.com, nme, nylon, under the radar, stereogum, and many more. suckers captures the spirit of four individuals working in total congress toward a singular sound, aesthetic and vision. they are certainly eccentric and at times avant-garde, but at their heart, are simply, and joyously, making pop music. limited 7" on make mine records.
