Exclusive: SUSS Unveil Stunning New Ambient Country Track “Sunset IX”
New York ambient country trio SUSS return with “Sunset IX,” a patient, textured track from their patient, winding aesthetic. The veteran musicians—Irwin, Holmes, Gregg—rarely slow down, but this piece expands their minimalist expanse beautifully. It matters because it deepens their distinctive, cinematic sound, following their 2018 debut *Ghost Box*.

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.
