A new release from Diego Herrera, aka Suzanne Kraft, continuing his singer-songwriter direction. Out on Melody As Truth.
Track List
“Sometimes / If I Die” are two songs that have been key parts of the Suzanne Kraft live shows for the last year. The only songs in the set list not taken from the 2021 album “About You”, it felt natural to give them the full release that they deserve. Both tracks carry the hallmarks of SK’s recent work; hazy guitars, horizontally-inclined vocals and fuzzy 4-track pop sensibilities. coming soon on a 7"from Melody As Truth.
‘Sometimes’ was written in the wake of wrapping up ‘About You’ and served as a pole star for future exploration. A song of brotherly love, it simply describes a late evening at a friend’s house talking, drinking, laughing, sharing stories. ‘If I Die’ is a song originally written and recorded by close friend Alejandro Cohen and his band Languis. About the song, SK says, “Ale played a pivotal role in my musical upbringing since meeting him in my late teens. When the time came to play shows and tour I wanted to honour the influence Ale had on me by bringing one of his most beautiful songs along with me”.

Since 2021's On Our Hands / Waiting, Suzanne Kraft has been putting out material featuring his own vocals. The influences of '80s UK indie rock, neo-acoustic and shoegaze come through loud and clear. This time around, "Sometimes" could pass for an unreleased Teenage Fanclub track, while the dream pop of "If I Die" — evoking early Primal Scream, The Jesus & Mary Chain and Slowdive — is a cover of a Languis song originally released on Plug Research.
