Apr 5, 2018The group’s artful combination of beauty and ugliness, familiarity and not-always-pleasant surprises has reached a new peak with Felt.
-
Mar 1, 2018While Suuns' albums tend to reluctantly hold your hand while guiding you through their universe, Felt reaches out and pulls you in. It may even make you dance.
-
UncutFeb 28, 2018Felt's abundance of different textures and its carefully composed atmosphere of unease ensure this is more than another recombination of Krautrock and Warp Record Reference points. [Apr 2018, p.35]
-
Feb 28, 2018Vocoder flourishes, occasional saxophone solos and all, Felt is still possibly the most candid album Suuns have made, showing even a little vulnerability in the glimpses it gives into their methods.
-
Mar 5, 2018Ocean’s no extrovert, but he’s an intersection for a wide array of listeners, and Felt exhibits a porousness that could also attract new and more varied fans of Suuns. Perhaps, in the end, we’ll all want it weird.
-
Apr 18, 2018On Felt, Suuns are one step closer to creating a language they can call their own.
-
MagnetApr 17, 2018Felt delivers in established structural ways while giving the songs frequent jolts to the system--either overall or in precision-chosen moments. [No. 150, p.55]
-
Mar 7, 2018At times, Felt feels like playing a video game--quite specifically, the Portal series--and it is not at all unpleasant for that feeling. It is rare for a band to simultaneously sound both from the past and the future, and yet Suuns manage it with aplomb here.
-
Mar 2, 2018When experimentation is so often an exhibition of flashy (and flabby) production wizardry, they remain refreshingly committed to keeping you entertained rather than just impressed.
-
May 7, 2018Fitting trajectory, Felt loosens up on the seriousness gripping Suuns' last three albums into kaleidoscopic microcosms of Krautrock pulses, guitar ambience, and post-punk eruptions.
-
Mar 13, 2018Felt is a surprising addition to their canon of work, which 2016’s Hold/Still deftly hinted they were capable of. While it may not be what long time Suuns fans are after, it’s sure to gain them some new listeners, who shall no longer feel alienated by their intense grooves.
-
Mar 7, 2018It's a bit of a shame that the record is so half-baked, but somewhat predictable as their creativity has been slowly waning with each new album.
-
Feb 28, 2018Felt feels slightly repetitive and overlong, but is an interesting and worthwhile effort from a band whose sound continues to mature and improve.
-
Mar 8, 2018Felt, in turn, is not Suuns going through the motions; it's Suuns putting down their guitars and dusting off the synthesizers and scrounging up less than stellar material.
-
Q MagazineFeb 28, 2018Abrasive textures win out over melody, and the odd flashes of In rainbows-era Radiohead only serve to underline the inaccessibility of the rest of the material. [Apr 2018, p.115]
