The Uglysuit

2008 brought us some fresh and sunny musics coming from young bands who believe in letting it all hang out: Fleet Foxes, MGMT and The Uglysuit.
Made up of six friends from Oklahoma City ranging in age from 20-23, The Uglysuit brings a different mentality to what they do - fresh, infectious, atmospheric sound close to the West Coast psych. What’s most attractive about The Uglysuit and their self-titled record is their ability to infuse their music with the same kind of enthusiasm that you imagine informs their outlook on life. The album released last August has some tasty piano, Bird’s House and Elliot Travels, and fiery electric-goes-to-hell guitar works, Happy Yellow Rainbow. It ends perfectly with the thoughtful, elegiac Let It Be Known. Good pacing and nice production touches help make The Uglysuit a real find.
