Suuns recently announced their new album, Felt, with the first single, “Watch You, Watch Me,” NPR Music described it as a “joyous…build of brutalism and emotion.” Following “Watch You, Watch Me” is “Make It Real.” “Here, we’re all playing in ways that are counter-intuitive for us as a band, organic drums, major keys, but as long as it works, we’ll take it,” says drummer Liam O’Neill. “It used to have a chorus too, but we thought it would be more interesting to have this song be almost entirely linear – an asymmetrical progression that grows upwards and then repeats. The infinity feeling.”
Accompanying today’s release of “Make It Real” is a Sabrina Ratté-directed video premiered by The FADER. “When I first listened to ‘Make it Real,’ I immediately visualized pop and colorful imageries,” says Ratté. “I revisited Superstudio and Archigram’s utopian architecture, which became my main inspiration for this video. This project was also the opportunity to experiment further with some of my personal techniques where I map photographs (or in this case video of the band) onto 3D structures. I’ve worked with Suuns on a previous music video about five years ago, and did many visuals for them in live settings.”
Felt is out March 2nd on Secret City Records in Canada.
