Restless
SUSS: Birds & Beasts (digital outlets)

Some years ago we stumbled on SUSS, a New York instrumental trio who create ambient widescreen guitar soundscapes as wide as the deserts and skies of California and Arizona.

We loved it, wrote about it favourably and joined the long line of critics who also praised this band.

Seems there was a much shorter line of those wanting to buy it however.

SUSS are firmly a cult band – as is SUSSman Bob Holmes' other trio Numün which we also drew attention to.

So might as well leave this right here.

Other than to say if the idea of a subtle, quiet tapestry of acoustic and electric guitars, pedal steel, mandolin, bass, keyboards and loops sounds like your kind of music then SUSS is out there, patiently waiting your attention.
