Sister Suvi - Now I Am Champion (2009)
One of the best albums I've listened to this year. Here's a description from P4K.
"The 'Montoronto'-based trio brings a raft of influences to their first full-length, Now I Am Champion, and it takes a couple of listens to enjoy all its strengths. The first impression, from singles like the breakneck 'The Lot' or Zeppelin-esque 'Golden', is of an off-kilter indie rock act. The production is raw but muddy, and when the songs get loud-- and all of them do-- the guitars smear and the vocals can be a blur. But then you catch the stellar bass lines (by both Gregoire and Garbus), the groovy shimmy of 'Desolation', and the jazz/reggae rhythm and psychotic lyrics of 'American'. The three-part harmonies are brash but complex, and Dann’s drum parts are relentlessly fascinating. And Garbus sports a uke, but she never treats it gently: The amplification makes it an aggressive lead instrument, and it also sounds great bowed, as on 'Longlegs'."

dear samuel davis jr II,
this is pat suvi writing. maybe i am a blogger re-re, but it seems to me it should somehow be easier to contact you. but after five minutes of clicking around like an asshole i am just going to leave a note in the bottle comment and hope it arrives intact.
all that to say, glad you're feeling "nowchamp". but the suv's no more and got sold off for scrap now.
