September 3rd will see the release of Suuns‘ new album, The Witness, through Joyful Noise. After teasing it with the lead single ‘Witness Protection’, the Canadian band are offering another glimpse into the album with new single ‘C-Thru’. “A lot of the slower and more delicate songs on this record required quite some finesse, and after all that careful work we needed a good romp,” explained the band’s Liam O’Neill. “SUUNS at our best is always secretly a little bit ‘fun,’ so when Ben writes an uncomplicated song with a good melody, we try not to overthink it – we try and get the sound of us having fun with it on tape.”
‘C-Thru’ comes with an accompanying video directed by Jared Raab and Luca Tarantini, who had this to say about it:
“‘C-Thru’ was a song that seemed to ask for an abstract and difficult image. Perhaps we were feeling exhausted from having to see everything on a screen, but the experience of making the video was a lot like viewing it. We were slowly burying ourselves under a layer after layer of static textures. We live in a world mediated more and more by screens and we started to see the song as representing something more meaningful, out of sight, under the surface. It’s quite literally a trick of the eyes. It’s an image underneath another image.”
