SUUNCAAT – bite

Genre-blurring experimental pop artist SUUNCAAT has released her latest single, “bite,” an abstract homage to club culture.

The track is a stripped-down, phonk-inspired exploration of the club as a place of discipline, the juxtaposition of calmness and composure in an environment designed for excessive overstimulation. Marking a new chapter in her career, SUUNCAAT also steps into this release under new management with SUPERCONNECTED.

SUUNCAAT is an amorphous project, drawing influences from alternative pop and electronic music genres. “bite” emerges uniquely from her discography that floats between hyperpop and outsider pop, taking on a striking balance between minimalistic production style and maximalist elements. Intimate and raw, the grungy track is grounded in the repeated mantra, “I’m not gonna eat it all / I’m only gonna have a bite.” There is a confident sensuality to SUUNCAAT’s whispery delivery, flirting with the contrast of keeping it cool in an elevated, chaotic space. “I came for the beat not beam tourisms,” she sings as a thesis atop industrial beats, manufacturing a sound that is mesmerizing and disorienting as she dissects one’s role in the clubbing space. “bite” exists as a paradox with its provocative and sporadic style that would have heads bopping in an underground, alternative setting, despite its opposition to conformity. “I wrote ‘bite’ after going to Fabric London alone out of boredom. It’s about being in that environment and not giving in to it, just taking the high from the music and keeping your distance from everything else, being invisible in a crowd,” SUUNCAAT explains. “bite” was mastered by Lew Husbands. The official music video for “bite,” due out in early June, further expands this world through striking, immersive visuals, with costume design by Movroz, whose work enhances the track’s shadowy, otherworldly aesthetic.

SUUNCAAT was compelled to music early on in her life, picking up “Moonlight Sonata” on a toy piano at four years old because it was featured in her favorite Goosebumps! episode. Shortly after, she was enrolled in technical violin training and has since evolved her musical language across instruments, production, genre, and her overall identity—or rejection of it—as an artist. Spending crucially formative years in Montreal’s punk and electronic underground, she has grown to draw inspiration from hyperpop, baroque sensibilities, drum & bass, and outsider traditions. Her works explore original characters that interact together as an internal mythology, an overall ambitious project that leaves greater truths hidden underneath the surface. On the horizon, SUUNCAAT will be debuting live in Tokyo in June, bringing her ethereal parallel universe to life on tour in Japan.

“Moving through the space by myself, I was less interested in the social rituals and more attuned to the actual music. In that moment, you’re only a spectator, not a participant,” SUUNCAAT shares.
