PMA Premiere: Local Natives - "Wide Eyes" (Suckers Remix) MP3 at Pretty Much Amazing

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2011, or our Best Albums of 2011.

Suckers’ long waited debut album, Wild Smile is out June 8 on Frenchkiss. To promote their upcoming LP, the band has embarked on a month-long tour with labelmates Local Natives. It seems the two bands have gotten quite cozy with each others’ music, Suckers going as far as remixing Local Native’s Gorilla Manor opener, “Wide Eyes”, and I am proud to premiere it.

What Suckers have done here is see the value in Wide Eyes’ best attribute — the dual chanting of Taylor Rice and Ryan Hahn. They took that and blazed the spot light on it, while splashing on some undersea synths reminiscent of the sounds we heard on Yeasayer’s excellent Odd Blood.
