[SONG OF THE DAY] Akurei - "SUCKER"

You should get well acquainted with Aussie bb Akurei. At first he was a name I caught in passing on “DOWN” from BAYNK’s latest EP, A STUDY IN MOVEMENT, along with Golden Vessel who y’all got a taste of yesterday if you bumped this week’s diSKOAver weekly. Recently he released his latest EP, SEROTONIN, which also happens to be the debut release on the recently launched indie label sumoclic, which is co-owned/operated by Akurei & Golden Vessel.
The first of three EPs that Akurei plans on releasing in 2020, SEROTONIN follows his September EP, which was released near the end of last year. “I wanted to share a few bite sized projects, and the three track format was an exciting idea to me,” he explains. Almost immediately after releasing September he began working on new material, but nothing really starting coming together until February when he went on a writing trip with two of his good friends, Golden Vessel and Emerson Leif.
Why yes, I’ve wandered myself into another nice little collective of talented individuals down under. Glad you noticed that, too. 😘
These guys are keeping busy and there’s already more to share since this EP dropped that is forthcoming, but given how quickly I’ve taken to Akurei and his tender unassuming voice, I just wanted to take a second to make sure he had at least one moment of your full and undivided attention. Although I thoroughly love the whole EP, “SUCKER” has really come to be my favorite.
Enjoy the SEROTONIN EP below. 💖
