Suuns – Zeroes QC – album review

Stream “Arena” from Zeroes QC

There’s something entirely vital and magnetic about Montreal four-set Suuns’ debut LP, Zeroes QC. So much so, we thought it was important to write a review for this album more than a year after its release. At a time when rock music is struggling for an identity, when forward leaning groups seem uninspired and backward-facing teams seem tired, Suuns leads the former camp with its droning, apocalyptic rock deconstruction. It’s shadowy and tense, bleak and experimental, but infused with a pop sensibility that makes it hard to turn this record off.

Although Zeroes QC wanders with a worthy purpose, it does meander quite a bit. In the end, the LP sounds like a collection of studio outtakes rather than a trimmed and polished effort. But despite the wandering, Zeroes QC never slips off the cliff that separates lazy experimentation from focused experimentation.

Standout Tracks: “Armed for Peace”, “PVC”, “Arena”
