ABOUT SUIR
photo: Jürgen Vorhof
SUIR is a duo based in Cologne, which started in the beginning of 2017 when Denis Wanic (guitar and vocals) and Lucia Seiß (synths, guitar and bass) joined forces for their band project.
In a constant play of guitars and synthesizers, supported by minimalist and electronic drum rhythms and melancholic lyrics, SUIR produces reverberated shoegaze and cinematic, atmospheric music defined by dense and complex sound walls. This rich, velvety sound constantly shifts between post punk, dark shoegaze, heavy dark wave, and psych, but due to their own sound creations, none of these genres can be unambiguously attributed. The music combines heavily influences by contemporary bands like Bleib Modern, The Underground Youth, The KVB, The Brian Jonestown Massacre or shoegaze pioneers like My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Their live performance is expanded by a visual program which is strongly influenced by the origin of the two from the fields of art history and philosophy and builds a filigree and gloomy overall concept. SUIR has toured from eastern to western Europe, performing as main or support acts for artists like Motorama, Lebanon Hanover, Esben and the Witch, The Underground Youth and The KVB, and appeared at major festivals that include Wave-Gotik-Treffen (WGT), NCN-Festival and Owls ´n´ Bats Festival.
The duo released two full albums, „Ater“ and „Soma“ with Black Verb Records and Manic Depression Records (Vinyl, CD, Tape). 2021 they created „Studio Session“, a live session recording in SUIR’s discography, which was released April 1st by Wave Tension Records (Vinyl, CD, Tape).
Currently they are in the middle of the writing process for their third album.
Their songs “Warm Waves” and “Den Of Thieves” were featured in UNEARTHED #6 from 31.01.2022. The accompanying UNEARTHED interview with Lucia and Denis can be read here.
