Montreal avant-rock trio SUUNS have announced their sixth studio album, The Breaks, previewed by today's release of the title track.
The follow-up to 2021's Witness arrives September 6 on Joyful Noise Recordings. It was produced by the band's Liam O'Neill, who repeatedly reimagined frontman Ben Shemie and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Yarmush's ideas from sporadic rehearsal sessions in Pro Tools over a two-year period.
"The Breaks became sort of the opposite of our last record," Yarmush explained in a release. "Nothing was really played together. We were caught in a little bit of a wormhole, trying new things, throwing different things against the wall."
O'Neill added, "Sometimes we arrived at these moments of impasse and where we didn't know what to do. And I just found myself really getting into it. Let's try this and this! And just try everything. I had a lot of energy, and I felt really passionate about it."
