Suckers, the Brooklyn band, have been poised to break out for the longest time. The band released their self-titled EP last year with the awesome track “It Gets Your Body Movin’” and have been one of the most talked about bands this side of Yeasayer and MGMT. Having gained the attention of fellow bands and bloggers alike the one thing that was missing was an album.

Suckers – It Gets Your Body Movin’ [MP3]
The wait is finally over as Wild Smile will be released on June 8th on Frenchkiss Records. Their live shows are jubilant celebrations of primal joys and here’s hoping the album features more of that complex pop tribalism that we’ve grown to love. The tracklist is below.
