Suuns

Those of you who are familiar with films like The Wizard Of Oz and The Prestige might relate: the mechanics behind the magic can be just as compelling as the smoke and mirrors themselves. Just ask Montreal outfit SUUNS. As a band who have been around for thirteen years and toured all corners of the world, there comes a point where the veil needs to be fully lifted. Up till now, the experimental rockers have revelled in mystery like a silhouette disappearing into the mist, putting out albums that rest comfortably in ambiguity, detachment and innuendo. But lately, SUUNS appear to be more comfortable coming clean with their own inner workings. “This is a very geeky thing,” singer/guitarist Ben Shemie delineates. “But we never really commit to a certain kind of tonality. Whether it’d be major or minor, there's always a certain kind of evading of what your own expectation is.”

Lesser Evil

Loin de tout, sans électricité, sans eau courante. Un vieux véhicule récréatif transformé en studio. C’est dans ces conditions que Christophe Lamarche-Ledoux et Ariane M. constatent que la musique qui émerge entre eux ne correspond à rien qu’ils n’auraient pu imaginer. Lesser Evil émerge, se comporte avec fureur. Celle d'une vérité qui aspire à s'affranchir des ténèbres.
