SUSS

SUSS, an American music collective, has been instrumental in crafting a unique soundscape by blending the atmospheric textures of ambient music with the distinctive twang of country. Their sonic palette, a harmonious marriage of both genres, is marked by ethereal pedal steel guitars, subdued rhythms, and a spacious production style that evokes the sprawling landscapes of the American West. Based out of New York, SUSS consists of members Bob Holmes, Pat Irwin, Jonathan Gregg, Gary Leib, and William Garrett, who have individually contributed their vast experiences in various musical and artistic fields to create the band's signature sound.

Since their inception, SUSS has steadily built a discography that captures the imaginations of listeners and transports them to otherworldly frontiers. Among their most recent offerings are "Rising" and "Winter Was Hard," sonic explorations that delve deeper into the introspective, icy realms of their craft. Albums like "High Line" and its companion piece, "High Line - B Sides," showcase their capacity to meld cinematic guitar lines with ambient soundscapes, a testament to their skill in creating music that's as expansive as it is intimate. With tracks such as "Night Suite," "Promise," and "Sundowner," SUSS continues to push the boundaries of their genre-blending pursuits, solidifying their place as pioneers in the realm of ambient country music.
