Suzie True make ennui look good on "Rat Kid." On the music video for their latest single, lead songwriter Lexi Mccoy prances around with delightful aimlessness inside one of those ghostly, half-empty shopping malls that seem like they’ll exist forever. She lip syncs with gusto over a sweet hook, backed by a hooky earworm that is informed by both sixties Brill Building pop and garage rock fuzz. It’s a sad, yet heartfelt ballad that will leave you humming for days.
"Rat Kid" is featured on Suzie True’s forthcoming EP, Nothing to You, which comes out tomorrow, October 26 via Buzz Records. Juan Rodríguez
