Band Of Susans – Now – Compact Disc
Band of Susans was formed in New York City in 1986 by guitarist Robert Poss and vocalist Susan Stenger. They were known for their distinct approach to alternative rock, incorporating elements of noise rock, shoegaze, and post-punk. One of their defining characteristics was the band’s lineup, which often consisted of multiple guitarists, creating a dense and layered wall of sound.
Now is a standout album from their second studio album, released in 1987. The song showcases Band of Susans’ ability to combine melodic hooks with noisy and textural guitar work. “Now” features driving rhythms, intricate guitar interplay, and dynamic shifts in intensity. Susan Stenger’s vocals provide a captivating and ethereal quality that complements the band’s sound.
Band of Susans garnered critical acclaim for their unique sound and innovative approach to alternative rock. They gained a dedicated following within the indie music scene, particularly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their music was characterized by a balance between noise and melody, with an emphasis on atmospheric and hypnotic elements.
In addition to “Here Comes Success,” Band of Susans released several other notable albums, including “Love Agenda” (1989), “The Word and the Flesh” (1991), and “Blessing and Curse” (1991). These albums continued to showcase their distinctive sound, with complex guitar arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics.
