New York based trio SUSS bridges classic Americana instrumentation with atmospheric minimalism, pioneering a genre they call “ambient country,” – a term aptly defining their vivid and singular sound.
SUSS have been described by UNCUT as if “Eno’s Apollo Atmospheres crash-landed in America’s Sonoran Desert,” and by Pitchfork as “Neither rawboned nor ramshackle… elegantly composed brand of ambient country stands as tall and clean as a brand-new pair of cowboy boots.”
SUSS embrace pedal steel, a National guitar, mandolin, harmonica, baritone guitar, and the harmonium interwoven with synthesizers and loops, creating a massive high lonesome sound.
