Canadian bands Suuns’ 2010 debut album Zeroes QC was a hugely enjoyable piece of dark krautrock-meets-post-punk, which meant that with their next material they could go in several directions, or stay in the same place and still sound interesting. While we’re not getting a full follow up yet, we now have two new songs coming out on 12″ that give us a bit of an indication as to where their sound is going.
The band explains:
“With a couple weeks off this summer in Montreal, we thought we’d take a crack at a few new songs. Stark and futuristic, these are extended jams that may or may not materialize as condensed versions of themselves on records to come. Open air textures, repetition and exploration were the name of the game for us on this one, and the finished product is a refined mining of the ideas that came out. “Bambi” is a creepy story of love lost and found, while “Red Song” is just that: a song about color.”
You can see the cover art above and you’ll be able to buy the “Bambi” 12″ from Secretly Canadian physically and digitally on November 14th. However, if you’re curious now then stream both songs below. We also have their current tour dates including some with The Besnard Lakes.
