Harlan T. Bobo - Sucker

2010 release, Harlan T. Bobo's third album for Goner Records. If Too Much Love, Bobo's solo debut, chronicled the dissolution of a soul-wrenching relationship, and his second album, I'm Your Man, captured the fits, starts and relapse of post-breakup emotions, Sucker narrates the life of a man who is, in his own words, "settling down." Despite the new album's tongue-in-cheek title, the dark confessional style that pervades I'm Your Man is largely replaced with a lighter attitude. Anguish gives way to an almost upbeat angst, and the gloom-and-doom allure of temporary romances is overcome by true love.
