Hmmm, I think this is one of those EPs that bands put out before anyone has taken any notice of them. Y’know, when they reckon they’re really good but just need people to hear it. So often delusional. But then, Sucioperro are Scottish!! There are only 3 types of music made in Scotland:
  1. Mogwai style post-rock
  2. B&S style indie über-indieness
  3. Idlewild/Travis don’t need explaining
And be honest now, it hardly varies from the norm does it? The norm being quite the superlative of fantastic, one way or the other.

This record slots into category #1 in the quiet/LOUD stakes and features a guest vocal from one of the frontrunners of the scene at the moment: Biffy Clyro man, Simon Neil. There are major hints of Cooper Temple Clause and Aereogramme in there if you want some clearly defined inklings of what they sound like. No giant walls of sounds clearly visible but plenty of melody and some noodly guitars popping up, which is nice to see. He goes a bit mental at one point – screaming away like a madman. Also, nice to see.

They just went on the Biffy tour for a couple of dates in Scotland apparently. I wanna see them live cos I reckon they’re gonna be ace.
