Some artists make music that feels like a conversation. Easy, warm, thoughtful, and honest. That is the world of Miki Fiki, the Nashville based project led by songwriter Sucre Jenson. His songs glide more than they push, built on groove, personality, and a quiet sense of confidence that rewards close listening.
Miki Fiki’s music feels lived in. It is playful without being careless, soulful without being heavy, and clever without trying to prove anything. These are songs that invite you in instead of demanding attention.
Miki Fiki grew out of Nashville’s indie scene, far from polish and pressure. What began as a personal experiment in rhythm and songwriting slowly evolved into a full creative identity. Jenson allowed the sound to form naturally, guided by feel rather than formula.
Live playing became a major part of the project early on. You can hear it in the looseness of the arrangements and the way the songs seem to breathe. There is a sense that nothing is rushed and nothing is forced.
The name might sound lighthearted, but the intention behind the music is focused and sincere.
Miki Fiki lives at the intersection of indie pop, soul, and laid back funk. The foundation is always groove. Warm bass lines, soft but intentional drums, subtle guitar work, and keys that add color without clutter.
Jenson’s vocals sit comfortably in the mix, conversational and relaxed. He sings like he is telling you something real without raising his voice. That intimacy is what makes the songs stick.
Tracks like Stranger and Go Out highlight his ability to make rhythm feel effortless, while earlier songs like Crippling Fear reveal the emotional honesty beneath the surface.
Miki Fiki’s newest album, Dumb Baby, marks a clear step forward. It is more confident, more playful, and more self aware than anything he has released before. The record leans into humor and vulnerability at the same time, using groove as a way to explore insecurity, self doubt, and growth without losing its lightness.
The songs feel sharper but never cold. There is still warmth in every corner, but now it is paired with a clearer voice and a stronger sense of identity. Dumb Baby sounds like an artist settling into himself, comfortable enough to be honest and loose enough to have fun while doing it.
At a time when so much music feels overproduced and urgent, Miki Fiki chooses ease. His work reminds listeners that groove can be powerful, that subtlety can carry emotion, and that sincerity does not need spectacle.
With Dumb Baby, he shows that growth does not have to mean abandoning what made the music special in the first place. It just means understanding it better.
Miki Fiki’s catalog is built for listeners who care about tone and mood. His records reward full plays and quiet attention. If your shelves lean toward modern indie soul or groove driven pop, this is music that belongs in rotation.
He pairs naturally with artists like Tom Misch, Her’s, Gus Dapperton, Rex Orange County, and Mild High Club.
Start with Dumb Baby and let it play all the way through. Do not shuffle. Let the grooves settle and the lyrics unfold at their own pace.
Here at Moose Vinyl, we love artists who trust feel over flash. Miki Fiki is one of them. His music brings warmth into the room and leaves it better than it found it.
