Thank you for your visit. Susurrus Station continue to forge into the late beyond with Antinomie. Their fourth full length record is a fugue state of plush, resolutely idiosyncratic songs that bend into focus territory unseen in their previous recordings. Antinomie threads a melodic trail over a treacherous expanse with Jason Breeden's ever-evocative lyrical odysseys. It kicks off with a disillusioned drawl, that gets pierced and finally shed, by a rollicking charge of guitar and drums (Keep Up Your Spirits), and switches chapters with pop-skewering, tongue-on-brow, alien dance hall beats that buoy Sara Johanne's vocals (Play the Fool). The last song, Closer, feels like a prodromal dream sequence, with projections on tree-swallowed drive-in screens, and disco balls still radiating in deserted skating rinks. From time to time throughout, Johanne lushly accompanies Breeden's preternatural chants and erratically anthemic guitar, and she sings one song in her native Danish (The Harmonist). Antinomie coalesces an air of spontaneity with implausibly cultivated arrangements and dissociative harmonies. There is no sense in us further belaboring what has to be heard! download ANTINOMIE (download a zip file of the full album and lyrics) download Susurrus Station's previous album Add a Day Going West

"Breeden and Johanne bring to the table a phenomenal display of culture and expansive instrumental talent that makes Susurrus Station and its songs almost mind-boggling." -Magnet Magazine "Susurrus Station's avant-folk is mighty pretentious...on the other hand, the group's busy orchestrations set a haunting mood." -Time Out New York "Multi-instrumentalists and vocalist, both, Breeden and Johanne mix styles and sounds in unusual and surprising ways to create some of the edgiest and darkness Avant-Folk in the business today." -Wildy's World "Susurrus Station makes strange minimalist desert noir music". -Mastan Music, Portland "...a transcendantly beautiful and strange band called Susurrus Station. Identifiable strata of exotica, cowboy music, avant-folk, Kurt Weill, showtunes, post-jazz again, spy-fi, and very gentle noise can be detected in the sedimentary layers of an undiscovered stylistic planet." -Noah Mickelsen, Portland "Susurrus Station are a haunting US outfit who mix gothic melodrama, orchestral jazz improv, experimental sound collage and a healthy dose of poetic lyrical license..." -UK Music Search, London webpages booking and contact |
