Review: SUUNS – Fiction EP

SUUNS - FICTION EP

There are no ifs or buts about it – SUUNS are a band caught in a unique juncture of past and present on their new EP, FICTION. On the eerie opener, “LOOK,” the Montreal-based band conjures an ominous atmosphere straight off the bat. Vocalist Ben Shemie recalls sermons, his vocals high in the mix; processed to the point where words are unintelligible but that doesn’t even matter. All you can focus on is the feeling “LOOK” demands. “FICTION” takes a leaf out of trip-hop legends Portishead’s books with beats contrasting against a mournful elegy: “Where are you from, you don’t seem to know,” Shemie sings. “Life is long as a day/And one by one, you see them fall/I can’t talk, can’t take anymore.”

Alex Gaskarth, talking to Loudwire:

”There absolutely will be more music and more Simple Creatures to come,” the All Time Low frontman teased. “We had all these plans, we had music kicking around. Then COVID hit, and it’s obviously shaken the year up and plans have had to change, naturally.”

”We need to kind of find that moment where we can get together in a studio and button up a couple of songs, and see where it goes from there,” he continued.
