Sukia - Play Colt

Something truly amazing this way comes. This song is basically a musical IQ test, evaluating your patience, perception, and intellectual swing. Sukia is a name of a Angeleno band from the mid 90’s that only released one full album Contacto Espacial Con El Tercer Sexo through indie label Nickelbag Records. Chances are that you have never heard of these guys and won’t run across too many who have. I came upon their album by chance, thanks in part to someone who stumbled across it at a garage sale. I personally have a hard time fathoming how someone could let this thing go. This song (like the entire album) takes you through waves of lo-fi, freeform jazz, and electronica, with nuances of punk, nuwave, and 50’s rock. The band is as unique and eclectic as you can possibly get + you can zone out to the muddy recording of the Stephen Morris-esque drumming, tucked away behind old sci-fi radio show samples and unrehearsed synth experimentation playfully whipping by us.

I can picture most listeners not making it all the way through, or caring to. Getting THIS deep is not for everyone… Or even possible.
