A sound that does not rush forward but instead creates space. The American trio operates at the intersection of ambient music, experimentation and the genre often described as ambient country. Pedal steel guitar, delicate guitar textures and slowly shifting layers of sound come together to form a meditative journey through vast landscapes. Their compositions evoke sunsets stretching across the horizon, cinematic scenes without words and moments of stillness that invite you to take a deep breath.
SUSS is a New York-based trio that self-released its debut album Ghost Box in 2018. What began as an unexpected underground success gradually found its way onto countless ambient playlists, eventually leading to a deal with Northern Spy Records. The acclaimed albums High Line (2019) and Promise (2020) followed soon after. The band later faced significant changes when producer William Garrett departed and founding member Gary Leib passed away unexpectedly. In 2024, SUSS embarked on a new creative chapter, filling their sparse sonic landscapes with the creatures, cycles and rhythms of the natural world. This land is your land too.
