WHITE SUNS PREMIERE NEW TRACK ON TINYMIXTAPES

"Priest in the Laboratory" Appears on New Album 'Totem', Coming March 18th

"…an exact midpoint where noise's anarchy can squeeze inside the lines of muscular punk." - Pitchfork

 

Listen to the new White Suns track, "Priest in the Laboratory", now on Tinymixtapes.com.  This track appears on the band's third album, Totem, which is slated for a March 18th release through San Francisco-based dark music label The Flenser. On this new album, White Suns' signature onslaught is tempered by deadened stares and slow-burn instrumentals.  Renowned recording engineer Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans, Foetus) provided documentation of the performance in his labyrinthine BC Studio compound.  Totem is rock music realizing its obsolescence; the work of a band compelled to mutate.

Brooklyn's White Suns has existed since 2006 and is comprised of members Kevin Barry, Dana Matthiessen and Rick Visser.  The band sculpts sound using detuned guitars, amplified drums, and makeshift electronics.  Their aural explorations begin at the intersection of punk and electronics-based noise, oscillating between crushingly dense assaults and articulate hushed passages. While in NYC, White Suns have released two full-length albums - Waking In The Reservoir (UgExplode, 2011) and Sinews (Load, 2012) - along with a handful of small-run releases. Their material has received accolades from the New Yorker, SPIN, and Pitchfork among others. White Suns has extensively toured the U.S. and garnered a reputation as a threatening and intense live act.  Stay tuned for more White Suns news and info coming soon.
