Breaking: SUSS Unveils Sun-Soaked Ambient Country Gem “Sunset IX”
SUSS, the New York ambient country trio—Pat Irwin (B-52s), Bob Holmes (Rubber Rodeo), and Jonathan Gregg (The Linemen)—unveil their sun-drenched new track “Sunset IX.” A patient, textural expansion of their signature minimalist sound, it arrives as their first release since 2022’s *Kintsugi*. The track deepens their exploration of ambient country, blending warmth and stillness, reinforcing their niche as sonic cartographers of quiet American landscapes.
Although their music is patient and textured, sprawling out into winding minimalist expanses, New York ambient country trio SUSS rarely slow down for long. The band, composed of longtime music veterans Pat Irwin (B-52s, Raybeats, 8 Eyed Spy), Bob Holmes (Rubber Rodeo), and Jonathan Gregg (The Linemen, Jonathan Gregg & the Lonesome Debonaires), debuted together with their 2018 album Ghost Box.
