Suuns - Images du Futur

Review by Marcus J. Moore

With Images Du Futur, Suuns have stretched into unknown territory while remaining true to its own sound.»

Buy now from:

montreal's suns return with a new album on secretly canadian. 'images du futur' builds upon the intensity of their debut, but often does so through new textures and subtler dynamic maneuvering. album standout 'edie's dream' begins with a single bass line repeated from which layers build and rise - first drums, then a wash of white noise; echoes of guitar, then chanted vocals. the song's clever shifts are jazz-touched and delicate, almost subliminal. it all makes for a stark, skeletal boogie - more an astral projection than a song. 'edie's dream' exemplifies the restraint of which suuns is capable and works to make the unhinged moments all the more devastating.
