Her debut album Free explores themes of liberation, celebration and change.

The first song on the album, Control is ironically about letting go, being free from inner anchors and outer entrapments. Allowing yourself to take risks and live lighter. Throughout challenging times it seems many of us face the disorientating decision of whether to take control over everything or just to let it go, accept that the world does not adhere to our rules. Embracing uncertanty is daunting but once immersed we learn how to swim in deep water, this is beautifully explored by Hilla.

Hilla describes her sound as “pop with a soul touch”. This is most prominent in her sultry ballad ‘No one’. It’s jazz undertones and her rich voice makes this song the perfect tune to unwind to.

Her music is for everyone and she dreams to perform live one day. Her voice is evocative of a speak easy singer, a lisenter becomes entranced.This is because she “invests a lot of time into [her] music”. She is still working on her guitar skills in preparation for any potential live opportunities.

Her words to live by, love, freedom and letting go filter through to her music.

The opening track of the album is explosive,setting the tone for the remaining nine songs. A listener is tantalised by a suspensful drumbeat before being thrown into the beautiful thunderstorm that is ‘Hang your Hat’, this darker tone allows a listener to inspect the inner corners of their minds fueled by Max’s powerful vocals this song is surely one you need to see live.

Track 7, Poison Jivey, starts off more mellow , a tone of reflection and quiet ecstasy which gradually bubbles with enthusiastic energy. The album concludes with Cause and Motive which combines their distinctive, darker reverb tones with a climactic kalidescope of sound to create a memorabale and entertaining experience both in the comfort of a listner’s bedroom and in the arms of a crowd watching them live.

Maximilian said “Playing live we create an immersive atmosphere that sucks people in,like a vortex of sound. The album was produced keeping in mind how it would sound whilst live, getting that blend of intricate muscianship, a bit of psychedlia and some crunching alt-rock guitars”

SÜKKO return with their new single Golden Suits

The world seems to be plagued with violence, building tensions with Ukraine’s border and Russia looming whilst the crisis in Yemen continues. It is understandable why many of us want to remain ignorant to these realities, instead of opening up our heads to them for then, we realise how helpless we are in the face of injustice.

Mainstream media routinley fails to focus on the world around us, we may be allowed some minute understanding but we are left to rely on our own curiosity to see the wilder world. SÜKKO’s new single Golden Suits explores these themes, holding meglomaniac leaders accountable by questioning why they’re allowing the demise of our enviroment and neglecting the underprivilleged. This shift to privillege is spoltlighted in the latter stages of the song. We may all live in the same society but it’s difficult for the rising sea levels to reach you when you’re born on a buttressed pedestal of privellege.

Golden Suits by SÜKKO

The frustration and anger felt in the face of helplessness is imbued throughout the song in the form of cynical, observational lyricism from vocalsit Felix Jordan and gritty guitar riffs from James Jordan and Eliot Clarke on guitar. Some parts of the track are alsmot idel in their tone, hinting at the laziness of our leaders to address concerning issues, this reggae mix of trumpet and synth keyboard from Matt Thompson is contradicted by the demands of Ben Alexander on the drums.If you want more from life this is the perfect track to listen to whilst searching for it.

SÜKKO are using their growing platform to raise awareness to the control of insitutions have over us and how little of the world is discussed, it encoruages us to question why these structure are in place and whther reform needs to be taken. Their EP of the same name, Golden Suits, showcases their stance against dominant politics.
