De Jong, Paul

You Fucken Sucker

Sophomore album by Paul De Jong, the innovative composer and co-founder of beloved collage-pop eccentrics The Books. 'You Fucken Sucker', is an uncompromising and overwhelming statement; an uncanny (and sometimes uncomfortable) reflection of our collective mental excess. Over the course of its 14 tracks (which range in length from 15 seconds to nearly 10 minutes) we hear complex tapestries of acoustic and electronic instrumentation submitting to waves of unhinged screaming; found-sound assemblage seamlessly incorporating subtle R&B rhythms; Freudian funk; lo-fi prog-metal; and vast synth patch orchestration adding unexpected textures and tension to the whole spectacular mess.
