WHITE SUNS PREMIERE NEW MUSIC VIDEO ON BROOKLYN VEGAN


WHITE SUNS PREMIERE NEW MUSIC VIDEO ON BROOKLYN VEGAN
New Album, Totem, Available Now; Record Release Show Friday in Brooklyn


Check out White Suns' new video for "Prostrate" which "...parallels the music's erratic attitude as it features a homeless person, gestating trash can eggs and a hooker with some mad shades and a wind machine" now on Brooklyn Vegan.

This video track appears on the band's third album, Totem, which hit stores yesterday 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. 
 
See the band's record release show at Reverse Space in Brooklyn on Friday, March 21st.  More info here.
