We love candy, and we certainly love salad. Leave it to Brooklyn three-piece Suckers to show us that we can throw the two together without fear of ridicule. Their new record, appropriately titled Candy Salad, drops tomorrow on French Kiss Records, but we've got the whole thing right here.The new album trades the offbeat wonkiness of their debut, Wild Smile, for refreshingly mature songwriting and, like, real studio equipment - production credit goes to Matt Boynton, who's famously worked with such heavyweights at MGMT and Black Dice. You can pre-order a physical copy right here.
Check out the record below, and be sure to catch Suckers out on tour this spring, alongside labelmates Young Man and Devin.
