UncutApr 25, 2013Images Du Futur is an altogether sleazier affair on which Suuns, toughened and grubby from two years on the road, come into their own. [Jun 2013, p.79]
-
Mar 21, 2013If there’s a real fault to this record, it’s that it embraces so many of the same idiosyncrasies Blackburn and crew do, given that the groups’ vocalists share such a similar timbre and delivery.
-
Mar 18, 2013Ben Shemie sings admonitions--“These same visions/It takes years for things to change”--that could be comments on the band’s fascination with modular structure or just testimony to its calm obstinacy.
-
Mar 14, 2013The Montreal quartet has their fingers in many pies, and the combination of noise, space, art and good old rock come together in a mix that creates its own gravitational pull.
-
Q MagazineMar 12, 2013Meditative yet pulsing, awkward yet affecting Suuns' contrasting waves deliver an eerie, engaging adrenalin rush. [Apr 2013, p.111]
-
Mar 11, 2013With Images Du Futur, though, the band has stretched into unknown territory while remaining true to its own sound.
-
Mar 6, 2013As introverted as this album is, it manages to move the band forward a great deal.
-
Mar 6, 2013Pretty much any way you slice it, Images Du Futur is just too clinical.
-
Mar 5, 2013Their amalgamation of indie and electronica is by no means revolutionary in itself, but their form of guitar infused music is an important one.
-
Mar 5, 2013Images Du Futur feels like a great movie without an ending.
-
Mar 5, 2013Images maintains an aura of continually mounting tension that keeps you anxiously captivated throughout its ten nervously haunting tracks.
-
Mar 4, 2013Somehow managing to sound minimal and controlled even when claustrophobically arranged with ever-shifting sounds, Images du Futur improves on Suuns debut and goes even deeper into the dark sounds they've been developing and perfecting as they go.
-
Mar 4, 2013On an album that rarely shakes off its shroud of unease, Suuns paint a pretty bleak picture of all our tomorrows, but their own dazzling Futur looks assured.
-
Mar 4, 2013Images Du Futur is exciting in a way that few albums manage to be, dangerous and compelling like a first cigarette or fumbled sexual encounter, and nothing here quite seems real.
-
Alternative PressMar 1, 2013Images Du Futur lacks the structural rigor and focused ideas of [Clinic], which prevents the album from having a strong impact. [Apr 2013, p.90]
-
MojoMar 1, 2013There's a peculiar tension in the way the stripped down electronic and acoustic percussion and Shemie's reverby incantations work together. [Mar 2013, p.89]
-
Mar 1, 2013This is an album that demands attention. An album that is experiential--at once lo-fi and richly textured--where the listener is a fly on the wall, mesmerised by minor-chord introspections that come in waves – some lap gently; others overwhelm.
-
Mar 1, 2013Pop hooks aside, Images Du Futur is not a feel-good record. But if you can deal with some dark, creepy, bummer vibes, it reveals new layers with each listen.
