Birds And Beasts

Description

A pioneering trio of ambient country, SUSS "plays with a sense of effortless synchronicity," according to Stereogum. This quality is more evident than ever throughout their latest album, Birds & Beasts. SUSS's recordings have received much acclaim for evoking long journeys through desert landscapes, a setting known to be ripe for such synchronicities: the rumblings and slow sweeps of pedal steel guitar, dobro, and almost subconscious synthesizer seem to operate according to the same logic that dictates the interactions of a weary traveler and a flock of migratory birds. While SUSS's previous albums dealt with such scenes, Birds & Beasts – although instrumentally more stripped down – deepens the sense of meaning and projected significance.
