Gazelles In Flight

Suuns at Branx during MFNW (RIP) 2011
We've seen Montreal's Suuns only once, in September 2011, back when MFNW (RIP) was still a real thing (not the faint echo of its current incarnation).  They played a set in the dark and sweaty Branx, a club in Portland's industrial zone, opening for Portland's own Talkdemonic and Vancouver's Handsome Furs.  

A year later, Suuns and Radwan Ghazi Moumneh of Jerusalem In My Heart spent a week in a Montreal studio fusing their two distinct sounds into one set of fluid and trippy recordings for a collaborative record.  The songs were not performed live until 2013 at Pop Montreal, which jump-started both sides’ efforts to finish the record.

The final self-titled collaborative album from Suuns and Jerusalem In My Heart was released on April 14, 2015 by Secretly Canadian. 

No plans yet for either band to perform anywhere near the American South.  

Here's Charles-André Coderre's hypnotic video for the trance-inducing Gazelles in Flight.
