Today experimental Montreal-based rock trio SUUNS shares a brand new song titled“Wave”, the first new material since the release of their critically acclaimed album “The Witness” in 2021. They also present an Ilyse Krivel-directed music video for the new track, you can watch it HERE. Engineered by Adrian Popovich (Tricky Woo) at Mountain City Recording Studio in Montreal in July 2022, “Wave” has evolved over the past year and a half.
“While touring (in support of) The Witness, between plane rides, car rides, van rides, and text threads, we started working on new music,” explains vocalist/guitarist Ben Shemie. “New sounds and a new approach seemed to take shape while testing new material. What started to emerge were really slow songs, some strange experimentations, and some unclassifiable jams. Amongst these tunes, “Wave” emerged. One of SUUNS‘ simplest songs, drawing on our classic rock and roll background and a nod to our Montreal brethren The Besnard Lakes.”
The band is heading on tour in the United States and will play cities mostly along the West Coast all the way to Canada, don’t miss them at the Cobalt Hotel in Vancouver on February 18th. Get your tickets HERE.
