Montreal band SUUNS have announced a new album titled The Breaks. The follow-up to 2021’s The Witness is set to drop on September 6 via Joyful Noise. Check out director Alexander Ortiz’s video for the title track below.
Commenting on the clip, Ortiz said: “The idea for the video is basically to match the slow moody feel of the song. It conjures movement with no destination in mind and analogue blends of images that you can almost touch. From bike rides and night drives to the passion of cha-cha dancing with a bouquet of flowers.”
“The Breaks became sort of the opposite of our last record,” multi-instrumentalist Joseph Yarmush explained. “Nothing was really played together. We were caught in a little bit of a wormhole, trying new things, throwing different things against the wall.”
Liam O’Neill added: “We were making this album at a time I just didn’t really have a lot going on in my life other than music. Sometimes we arrived at these moments of impasse and where we didn’t know what to do. And I just found myself really getting into it. Let’s try this and this! And just try everything. I had a lot of energy, and I felt really passionate about it.”
