Sucré is the solo project of vocalist Stacy Dupree-King, of Eisley.[1] Her music is produced by her husband and drummer Darren King, of Mutemath, and multi-instrumentalist and arranger Jeremy Larson[2] Sucré was formed in 2011 and began to play shows in 2012. Their first single, "When We Were Young", debuted in early 2012,[3] and their debut album, A Minor Bird, was released on April 10, 2012. As of April 9, 2012, the album was streaming on HelloGiggles.[4]

For Valentine's Day, 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[6] said of King and company's interpretation of the tune.
