Sucreblooms is the moniker of Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer, Erick Lee, previously frontman of Modern Rivals — who Pitchfork praised for a vocal performance conjuring up “present-day curiosity towards the endless access to the past.
His debut EP, 2021’s Outgrow, combined blooming synth figures, deep bass, and pristine modern production as the backdrop for Lee's delicate vocals to explore the meaning of the self, and the anxieties that can take hold when we look for solace in our sense of identity. From moments of quiet stillness to swelling euphoric grooves, Outgrow maintains a deep sense of humanity while operating in the context of today's frenetic, tech-driven world.
His follow up EP, Take Time, features three new tracks that act as meditations on parenthood, achieving emotional equilibrium and ultimately accepting to be where you are. Lee’s pristine production is pushed farther into dance music territory, with infectious vocal hooks that make these themes even more memorable and affecting.
