\u00a0\u201cAn electrodoomrock weapon of psych-jazz eeriness.\u201d \u2013 NME<\/em><\/p>\n Suuns are an enigmatic band. Dangerous and compelling, like first love or a contraband cigarette.<\/p>\n They make eerily beautiful, meticulously played music that embraces opposites and makes a virtue of cognitive dissonance. Their songs hold secrets that are revealed only on close listening. Their music finds space and silence sitting algside. It\u2019s organic electronic. Psychedelic austerity. Cold sensuality. A sacred drift.<\/p>\n Suuns have always seamlessly blended the programmed and played. Their brand of dark, melancholy electro-rock is bewitching, and radiant in live settings. We\u2019re hugely excited to bring them over for a series of livehouse shows. Suuns, after all, burn brightest at night.<\/p>\n Three city tour.\u00a0Shenzhen: Thursday June 21\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>at B10. Shanghai: Friday June 22\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>at Yuyintang. Beijing: Saturday June 23\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>at Yue Space.147 RMB presale, with a killer lineup of support acts.<\/p>\n They formed in Montreal 2007, when singer\/guitarist Ben Shemie and guitarist Joe Yarmush got together to work on some demos, soon to be joined by Liam, Ben\u2019s old schoolfriend, on drums and Max Henry on synth. Their group\u2019s first two records, 2010\u2019s\u00a0Zeroes QC<\/em>\u00a0and 2012\u2019s Polaris Prize-nominated\u00a0Images Du Futur<\/em>were immediate critical hits, and Suuns soon found themselves part of a late \u201800s musical renaissance in the city, alongside fellow groups like The Besnard Lakes, Islands and Land Of Talk.<\/p>\n In 2015, they released a collaborative album with the fluid and trippy ambient music project \u2018Jerusalem in my Heart\u2019. The release coincided with a long string of global tour dates, sending Suuns on the road for an extended period. The live show, built and refined during this time, is truly both a sight and sound to behold – part live show, part installation, part club – it is an all-round sensory experience. They\u2019ve built a fierce reputation as one of the best live bands out there, playing well-regarded gigs alongside Wilco, Julia Holter and Savages, among others.<\/p>\n In March 2018, Suuns released\u00a0Felt<\/em>, which breaks with Suuns\u2019 earlier darkness for a more optimistic ambience. It\u2019s playful, trippy, loose, laconic and colourful, with a leaner, meaner live show to match. As unpredictable as suunlight breaking through the clouds. Don\u2019t miss them on their China debut.\u00a0Three cities. June 2018.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n![\"suuns](\"https:\/\/spli-t.com\/splitworks2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/suuns-en.png\")
