Fronted by Dum Dum Girls’ Drummer, Sandra Vu, SISU blends gloomy synth-pop, shoegaze and electronic rock. Their latest effort, ‘Light Eyes’ EP, will be released on cassette by Burger Records this month. The opening song, “Two Thousand Eyes,” layers lo-fi drum loops, gritty guitars, sparkling synth leads and ghostly harmonies that swirl like ordered chaos. The title track, “Light Eyes,” grabs you right away with it’s catchy hook and tribal groove. The soundscapes ebb and flow throughout the EP, and descend into more experimental territories at times, while still maintaining the doom-like moodiness juxtaposed with hopeful pop melodies. SISU is currently on tour supporting Marnie Stern, with a full length expected later this year. - Jacqueline Caruso
