Suitor Saw You Out With the Weeds LP

Indie rock with a touch of post-punk at times. I liked the variety of styles these guys were able to capture; I didn’t know what to expect for each track. My absolute favorite track was “Generator.” It was a bit heavier and strange with a bang to start the track. I really liked the droning noise with a bass interlude, and overall very tense feelings it created. I kinda wish they had more tracks in this style as it felt the strongest to me, and some of the other songs felt a bit too long for my taste.

Suitor Communion cassette

Debut EP from this Cleveland duo, initially available as a digital-only release, now expanded and issued on cassette for the first time by Just Because. The base sound here is post-punk, but over these ten tracks you get to hear it applied across a handful of subgenres. The album opener “Communion” pairs a CURE-like instrumental track with lush dream pop vocals, which is then followed by a slower, stripped-down post-hardcore number. Other tracks touch on WIPERS-esque punk, garage-y post-punk (in the vein of the A FRAMES), indie pop, and even a bit of Krautrock. In addition to the production, the vocalist really helps tie this thing together. Her super sweet voice floats alongside the track like a narcotic haze, making it easy to enjoy the ride, even when the drive could be a little smoother. Worth a listen!
