New sounds for 2011: Suuns

Time for some spooky, dark electronica courtesy of Montreal's Suuns.

Calling to mind Oneida, Clinic, Suicide, This Heat, and LCD Soundsystem's slower moments, this bunch of Canadians are mining a different musical seam to many of their more well-known countrymen and women. Amid the minimal beats and threatening vocals, there's also a bit of Animal Collective/Tussle style psychedelia to be enjoyed - probably at some end-of-the-world death disco.

Debut LP Zeroes QC was released by Secretly Canadian towards the end of last year, and hopefully their momentum should carry over to make 2011 an interesting year for Suuns.

You can hear some tracks and watch videos over at the Secretly Canadian site.
