Skip to ContentNew MusicSUSS Announce New Album Counting Sunsets: Hear “Sunset II”By Tom Breihan10:39 AM EST on March 4, 2026Share on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on BlueskyLast year, the prolific New York ambient country trio SUSS teamed up with Immersion, the duo of Wire's Colin Newman and Minimal Compact’s Malka Spigel, for the collaborative album Nanocluster Vol. 3, and they also shared their version of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." Today, SUSS announce plans to follow their own 2024 LP Birds & Beasts with a new one called Counting Sunsets.Every track on Counting Sunsets is named after a number and a sunset — as in, "Sunset I," "Sunset II," etc. Lead single "Sunset II" is a meditative instrumental. Keyboards, acoustic guitars, and pedal steel swirl together to make you feel like you're alone in the universe. Put it on, stare out the window, and imagine yourself in a mythic and oppressive Western landscape for a few minutes. Below, check out "Sunset II," the fully meaningless Counting Sunsets tracklist, and SUSS' upcoming tour dates.TRACKLIST:01 "Sunset I"02 "Sunset II"03 "Sunset III"04 "Sunset IV"05 "Sunset V"06 "Sunset VI"07 "Sunset VII"08 "Sunset VIII"09 "Sunset IX"10 "Sunset X"TOUR DATES:3/21 – Kingston, NY @ Tubby's3/23 – New York, NY @ Night Club 1013/26-29 – Knoxville, TN @ Big Ears Festival4/30 – Yucca Valley, CA @ Mojave Gold5/01 – Los Angeles, CA @ On Joy5/02 – Ojai, CA @ Ojai Valley Woman’s Club5/03 – Mill Valley, CA @ Sweetwater Music Hall5/07 – Seattle, WA @ Tractor Tavern5/08 – Portland, OR @ Polaris Hall5/09 – Boise, ID @ Neurolux7/16-17 – Ostrava, Czech Republic @ Colours of OstravaCounting Sunsets is out 5/15 on Northern Spy.Jim BennettShare on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on BlueskyTom Breihan@tombreihan.bsky.socialRead More:SUSSGET THE STEREOGUM DIGESTThe week's most important music stories and least important music memes.EmailSign upMore from New MusicExplore New MusicNew MusicHammok Announce New Album When Does This Place Become Our Scene: Hear “The Scene”March 4, 2026New MusicPortrayal Of Guilt Announce New Album …Beginning Of The End: Hear “Ecstasy” & “Human Terror”March 4, 2026New MusicFcukers Make TV Debut, Share New Song “if you wanna party come over to my house”March 4, 2026New MusicPatti Harrison Remixed SASAMI’s “I’ll Be Gone”March 4, 2026New MusicBruce Hornsby – “Ecstatic” (Feat.
