SUUNS announces sixth studio album, The Breaks

"'The Breaks' became sort of the opposite of our last record. Nothing was really played together. We were caught in a little bit of a wormhole, trying new things, throwing different things against the wall,” multi-instrumentalist Yarmush says. Bands less experienced might have been forever trapped in said wormhole, but SUUNS’ mutual chemistry and trust turned out to be a reliable tether to explore these novel sonic ecosystems

By fate and circumstance, O’Neill took point in the producer’s chair for The Breaks, arranging, structuring, and editing many of Shemie and Yarmush’s ideas from sporadic rehearsal sessions into Pro Tools, reimagining the songs over and over during a two-year time frame. “We were making this album at a time I just didn't really have a lot going on in my life other than music,”O’Neill says. “Sometimes we arrived at these moments of impasse and where we didn't know what to do. And I just found myself really getting into it. Let’s try this and this! And just try everything. I had a lot of energy, and I felt really passionate about it.”

On the accompanying music video for "The Breaks", director Alexander Ortiz explains: "The idea for the video is basically to match the slow moody feel of the song. It conjures movement with no destination in mind and analogue blends of images that you can almost touch. From bike rides and night drives to the passion of cha-cha dancing with a bouquet of flowers.
