Suckers
"Suckers EP" (IAMSOUND)

IAMSOUND are proud to announce the release of Suckers self-titled debut EP which will be released on April 14th. The Brooklyn band will play select shows surrounding this EP's release, as well as shows in Austin during SXSW.

Suckers is 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 interpretive 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 lusher, denser tapestry of sound, style and imagination with this debut EP. Produced by Yeasayer's Anand Wilder and engineered by Chris Moore (TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Scarlett Johansson), the Suckers EP is, to paraphrase the title of its closing track, a moving experience. This quartet of songs captures the spirit of four individuals working in total congress toward a singular sound, aesthetic and vision. Suckers is certainly eccentric and at times avant garde. But at its heart, it is simply, and joyously, pop music.
