Brooklyn-based indie pop trio, Suckers deliver a strikingly gorgeous, loosely flung sophomore album. From the Brian Eno-esque dream pop of opening "Nowhere", with wildly swirling guitar solo inhabiting its crazed middle, to the sunshine-infused flicker of "Leave The Light On", the album's common thread is Suckers' intrepid willingness to wrap their pop sensibilities in dazzlingly odd packaging. The band's ability to craft tangled, ear-catching layers of sound over otherwise straightforward pop tunes shines throughout. Cascading waves of vocal loops and blipping neon synth roll behind Quinn Walker's matter-of-fact vocals on "George", blanketing a carefully cluttered beat, while twinkling piano chimes alongside drizzled guitar on the adorably cheery "Turn On The Sunshine". The only slight issue with the album is the way it back loads the icy ballads like "Lydia" and "Roses" to the end, feeling like an unwanted cool down after working into a lather with delicious clusters of indie pop bliss, like the melodic breeze of "Bricks To The Bones" and the earworm whistled hook of psychadelic-dipped "Chinese Braille".
