Up until now, experimental rockers Suuns have revelled in mystery like a silhouette disappearing into the mist, releasing albums that rest comfortably in ambiguity, detachment and innuendo. But lately, the band appears to be more comfortable coming clean with their own inner workings. That newfound sense of ease can be heard on Suuns' fifth full-length album 'The Witness'. It's a swift departure from previous album 'Felt', which harvested ideas in their embryonic, demoed versions. 'The Witness', meanwhile, pours Suuns' music into a more intricate mold, compelling the band to embrace the vibrancy of their live performances and urging vocalist Ben Shemie to approach his lyricism with unabashed directness.
