Experimental artist Kevin Gleeson, the visionary behind Sour Blood, has just unveiled his debut album, Suas. Known for his inventive soundscapes, Gleeson, a Tipperary-born Irish artist, continues to push boundaries with this self-released project. Following the success of his singles “Suas” and “The Devil,” both featured on the album, Suas, showcases his unique musical evolution.
Crafted between Gothenburg, Sweden, and Dublin, Ireland from 2022 to 2023 in collaboration with Brendan Jenkinson, Suas, is a testament to its creators’ deep immersion in the music. The album kicks off with “Landfill,” a ghostly and minimal instrumental that gradually transforms into a pulsating display of electronic textures, setting the stage for the surprises to come.
From the soulful melancholy of “Bruise” to the industrial undertones of “Mysterious Creatures,” Gleeson demonstrates his versatility and emotional depth. The title track, “Suas,” stands out with its moody, boundary-pushing style, while “The Devil” offers a delicate contrast before “Neon Sign” envelops listeners with its atmospheric and vivid lyrics. “Clot,” a slow-burning six-minute odyssey, and the gentle, acoustic closer “Overgrowing” provides a captivating journey through the album’s diverse soundscapes.
Suas, positions Sour Blood alongside experimental indie pioneers like Radiohead and Animal Collective. With each track delivering unexpected twists and a compelling blend of textures, Suas, is more than just an album—it’s an immersive experience. Gleeson’s latest work is a formidable contender for album of the year, promising a journey that listeners will want to revisit time and time again.
