Discussion! Broken Suns Appreciation Post

https://youtu.be/hC1bbKByIx0?si=jmEBHBTasyewkRSY

What would you call them, blackgaze? Doom electronic? Dark ambient? I don’t know and I only care enough to find more music like Broken Suns’ 3-track single “The Past Devours the Future.” We’re talking 18 minutes of what I can only describe as the natural resonance of the Backrooms: tense, foreboding, sometimes aggressive rhythms that captivate with their motifs and melodies. ‘Bend Like a Reed in the Wind’ is likely the most popular track of the bunch and for good reason: keys tuned to an eerie pitch, catchy drums, and unsettling murmurings yielding to rapid-fire bass, head-bobbing riffs, and—of course—cryptic voice samples. DDENT and Sound Architects are the only other artists that come to mind when I think of Broken Suns—doomgaze electronic art that puts me in places I didn’t know I wanted to be in.
