Susu is (other than the name of my mother’s dog) an unsigned indie/noise rock act from New York, with a strong overall sound. Last summer they recorded a six-song EP with producer Martin Bisi who have produced albums with artists from Sonic Youth to Swans and Iggy Pop to Unsane. Indie Night School interviewed the band over the matter.
Three of the six songs are available at their site. Especially the opener “In The Pool” caught my attention with its intensive and razor-sharp energy. Also the lyrics “you fuck up - you break up - i love you - i love you” will haunt you for rest of the day. Highly recommended.
Other two available tracks are not as catchy as “In The Pool”, but nevertheless, they are also good.
There’s also one new song, “Sawtooth” (mp3), available as an unmastered version - and also produced by Bisi. The band is scheduling a release of their debut full-lenght this spring, perhaps a 12″ vinyl, finincing it out of their own pockets.

Great to see someone writing them up - hopefully other blogs will catch on. Their recordings are great - but they’re even better live.
