Sukia
Contacto Espacial Con El Tercer Sexo

Just as with Beck, the partnership with the Dust Brothers also worked for the quirky groovy kitsch cocktail served by Sukia, a Californian quartet born in the hula hoop nights of San Francisco's Slim Club. Initially conceived as the soundtrack for the namesake comic series featuring a sexy Transylvanian vampiress, "Contacto Con El Tercer Sexo" brought the space age pop of Esquivel to meet with B'52s and Tricky, among hip hop and accordions, brass and samplers, congas and surf guitars, Moogs and drum machines, b-movies, and pornography.

An astral odyssey inspired by Burroughs and Gysin's cut-ups that deconstructs and subverts the principles of Muzak Corporation into a demented epic of sinister amusement.

The tracks weave through luxurious and lopsided upbeat swing capable of revitalizing the original exotica with meticulous admiration, hypnotic tracks offering unique and adventurous examples of the intoxica exotica movement aiming to resurrect retro phenomena recycled into the modern territories of the composite de-syncretic: vintage organs, wooden clubs, and guitars collide with turntables, telephones, and jukeboxes in the irreverent melodic mutations of trip-tease, among Hawaiian beaches, surf style, tributes to Martin Denny, Henry Miller, and Marlene Dietrich, among futuristic lounges and isolationist kraut rock, nonsensical pornodelic tunes between bossa, mambo, and dance with a particular predilection for vox, Hammond, and Leslie.

Jovial and scurrilous, cult classics of the past decade, gay super macho Sukia-themes.
