SuckerForLights is bringing back the old new-wave sound for us. Vocalist and synth player Olivia Voss and guitarist Bryan Brunt have been working on music together since 2007, but only officially put out the first EP last year. Their latest single, "To Love, We Swore" from their upcoming debut LP, is reminiscent of Cocteau Twins, with sweeping vocals, atmospheric synths, and understated guitar hooks. WL (pronounced Well) is the beautiful and mysterious project coming from Misty Mary, Michael Yun, and Steven Nistor (members of Blouse and Houndstooth). The nearly one-year-old demos on their Bandcamp and their recent resurgence of playing more frequently makes me wonder (hope) a full-length is on its way. ROCHELLE HUNTER
