SUSS
On “Counting Sunsets”, out now on Northern Spy Records, the New York trio SUSS further distil their sound across ten songs, allowing plenty of space between the instrumentation. An intricate fusion of Americana ingredients and electronic soundscapes, this is their finest, most fully realised expression of “ambient country” yet — a lesson in minimalism from a band with delicate, discerning touches.
SUSS share Sunset II, the first single from their forthcoming album Counting Sunsets, due May 15th via Northern Spy. The track rides a more pronounced rhythmic pulse than much of their earlier work, stretching ambient Americana into subtly motorik terrain. Recorded in a condensed window and shaped by a year touring together, the album captures the trio at their most intuitive.
