Sucré is an American indie pop band formed by the vocalist Stacy King, formerly of Eisley. Her husband, Darren King, produces the music with the multi-instrumentalist and arranger Jeremy Larson.[1] Sucré was formed in 2011 and started touring in 2012. A first single, "When We Were Young", was released in early 2012,[2] and the first album, A Minor Bird, was released on April 10, 2012.[3] The album was released streaming on HelloGiggles on April 9, 2012.[4]

For Valentine's Day 2014, Sucré premiered a music video of "You and Me" (made famous from the Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams film Blue Valentine[5]) with Nylon magazine. "It's intimate and catchy," Nylon said of King and company's interpretation of the tune.[6]

On August 25, 2014, Sucré released the first original recording in two years with "Young and Free".[7]

History

[edit]

The first music released by Sucré was a cover version of Fleetwood Mac's "Silver Spring" in 2010.[8] The first shows were on February 6, 2012, at The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles.[9] and a few earlier shows including Webster Hall in New York City and Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles. In October 2012, King and her husband had a daughter named Scarlett.[10]

Sucré embarked on the first tour shortly after the release of Loner in 2014, performing throughout the midwest and east coast.[11] Sucré headlined shows at Stubb's Jr in Austin and the Marlin Room at Webster Hall[12] during the tour.
