I heard Sucettes through the "surprise me" feature on Bandcamp. This is a wonderful 2 song 7" from an Omaha, Nebraska band. I immediately thought of Bailey's Nervous Kats, R.W. Hedges, and Marshall Crenshaw on "Pillow Dread" (the first song) and The Aislers Set on "Gisant de Lapin". The Bandcamp page states: "Maybe there’d be a word for it if Buddy Holly had lived to collaborate with Françoise Hardy."
Sucettes was made up of members of Box Elders (Jeremiah McIntyre) and Killer Blow (Genie Molkentine). I looked up Box Elders and thought the cover was familiar. I looked through my digital library and there it was - I'd gotten it way back in 2009.
This 7" was released on the short-lived label Ricordo. I can't believe no one has bought this on Bandcamp. According to Discogs, there's only one other release, another 7" from fellow Omaha musician Simon Joyner.
