Sukilove is great Belgian art-pop/blues-based alternative rock, not too far removed from The Only Ones , the Walkmen, and Radiohead. Static Moves is a bouncy, bass-heavy artsy alternative album. The production is deep and overly-full; the bass is so powerful it drones a bit and becomes the ambience, the vehicle to carry the remainder of the music and vocals. Keyboards and sustained guitars accompany the echoing vocals and back-ups.
The LP is an interesting listen; sporadic, intense, and unafraid to let the music play out a bit; the tracks are balanced and produced together giving a definite theme to the release. The only drawback to this notion is that one is almost drawn to consider the whole album, not the individual tracks; this will make things difficult for the band if they are trying to get a track onto the radio for exposure.
The track “Rebel” has an intensity that grabs hold right away and doesn’t let go easily. “Fear” has a rambling, grooving backbone to it driven by a nice bass line, and the line “We’re all just meat, we’re all just waiting to die” repeating over and over adds a psychedelic feel to the track.

Outside of sharing his opinion with many people who don’t ask for it, he can be found drawing, skateboarding, and drinking copious amounts of coffee at local coffee establishments.
