Sulek and Justin Heron at Circle-A Cafe
On its fourth album, 2012’s Unbound At Last, Milwaukee’s Sulek expands the diversity of its songwriting and sounds, soaring high with its dreamy atmospheric ditties and then crashing to Earth with the direct jolt of electric guitar thwacks and thrums. In between the free falls are some down-home, folksy acoustic tunes. It all works thanks to the driving force of the husband-and-wife team of Patrick and Ruthie Hoctor. Along with original band member Chris Winberg, the trio’s music is as seductive as it is original. Early influences have ranged from Arcade Fire to Modest Mouse, but the mainstay presence of The White Stripes hovers above Sulek’s minimalist incantations, all the more appropriate as the band recorded Unbound At Last in the chapel of the Newman Center in Milwaukee.
