| |
| Montreal's Suuns possess a rare trait in rock music: restraint. |
| They use it like an instrument, which makes their debut |
| full-length Zeroes QC as unsettling as it is wonderfully |
| exasperating. It's immediately apparent in album opener "Armed for |
| Peace," a track that starts off like a robot breaking down in a |
| hot desert; the song's mechanic beat plods like iron-shoed |
| footsteps as the melody of a wheezing synth mirrors the crackling |
| sound of old transistors and circuitry being cooked in the sun. |
| It's deceptively lulling, the tension almost unnoticeably |
| wrenching up and up until the track unexpectedly opens into a |
| barrage of nose-diving guitar riffs and crashing drums ù yet the |
| band still stays locked on the song's linear, forward-motion |
| direction. Suuns were born during the summer of 2006 when |
| vocalist/guitarist Ben Shemie and guitarist/bassist Joe Yarmush |
| got together to make some beats which quickly evolved into a few |
| songs. The duo were soon joined by drummer Liam O'Neill and |
| bassist/keyboardist Max Henry to complete the line-up. "I don't |
| think we were really a 'band' for the first year," Ben surmises. |
| It wasn't until a friend helped them procure a spot at Pop |
| Montreal 2007 that he says the group played their first "real |
| gig." |
| |
| Last year, Suuns entered Breakglass Studios with Jace Lasek of the |
| Besnard Lakes co-producing and engineering, and recorded their |
| first album. The group wanted to create something that couldn't be |
| pigeonholed as simply indie rock. "Jace definitely had a huge |
| impact for bringing to life the big sound of the band and being |
| open and willing stretch out any idea we or he had," Ben explains. |
| |
| The resulting Zeroes QC is a warm yet dark, propulsive collusion |
| of pop, post-punk and experimental rock ù one that allows the |
| group to musically shapeshift without losing any of the sense of |
| tension and unease that runs throughout the record. During tracks |
| like "Gaze," tightly wound guitars and bass ring and buzz atop |
| Liam's metronomic, powerhouse drumming, with Ben's cool, detached |
| vocals acting as a nervy counterweight as he delivers falsely |
| assuring lines like, "Don't you be yourself, you are someone |
| else." Often his close-miced sing/speak is as metronomic as it is |
| melodic; in "Arena" Ben's rhythmic "What-choo, what-choo"'s are |
| reminiscent of Suicide's Alan Vega as he leads the band's death |
| disco groove into a bloodbath of razor-sharp guitars, while his |
| icy, hushed delivery in "Sweet Nothing" is almost as motorik as |
| the song itself. Most impressive, though, is how Suuns |
| effortlessly sculpt memorable pop songs from experimental building |
| blocks, frequently using noise and space as actual hooks. All of |
| this amounts to a great first album ù one that is as timeless as |
| it is thrillingly modern. |
