Turns out the skeletal garage shriek, post-punk, and art rock accord of Suspirians’ eponymous 2014 debut merely showed off their first gear. The Austin threepiece throws into overdrive on Ti Bon Ange, a roaring expedition of spellbinding psych punk. Today, singer and guitarist Marisa Pool discusses the transformative new LP.

Austin Chronicle: Ti Bon Ange smashes the template laid out by your first album – longer songs, driving rhythms, and an all-around heavier sonic command. What changed in Suspirians’ creative vision?

Marisa Pool: What you get on the first record is the intention of Suspirians. Most of the songs were written before we were a band and it was a solid foundation for us to grow. You can actually hear the beginnings of the new sound on the first record during the song “Whatcha Do?” At the end of the song, we open up a bit. That was the song that sparked this new sound. It was already in there, hiding.

We really didn’t specifically set out to change all that much. It was a natural progression. We were just continuing to play and write, and trying to find a new drummer. That’s when the muses gifted us Lisa Cameron and it was obvious we were meant to make another record. Her style fit seamlessly with the intuitive and automatic direction [bassist] Stephanie [Demopulos] and I were already going in and are still exploring. So when we got the opportunity to make Ti Bon Ange, we took it and went into the studio with the material we had and an anything goes mentality.

All of the changes that occurred were products of inspiration we had at the time, including Lisa’s drumming and our engineer Evan Kleinecke helping us dial in some guitar and synth sounds. We just tried to take advantage of the access to the studio and also incorporate other influences we have such as noise and experimental music. We all enjoy that, as well as other approaches to the creative process like synchronicity and cut-up method. The experience of making this record was transformative and Ti Bon Ange is a reflection of that. Creatively, we had to open up completely to make it and are a better band now because of it.

AC: Tell us about the title, Ti Bon Ange.

MP: Ti Bon Ange was inspired by a book both Lisa and I read called Divine Horsemen, written by the filmmaker Maya Deren. It’s a voodoo term meaning “little good angel” and is meant to represent a part of your soul that possesses your individuality and willpower. It also leaves the body to make room for you to dream or be possessed during a ritual.

The book is beautiful and the ideas really resonated with me at that time. I felt this record could represent that idea – a space for a listener to be possessed by imagination and allow themselves to emerge as something else for a while, not unlike a mambo priestess dancing to voodoo drums. It’s the creative energy that lives both inside and outside of you, crossing between the planes of consciousness, opening a door to the divine dimensions.

AC: We’re premiering “Back Holes,” the album’s epic and melodic centerpiece. What can you tell us about it?

MP: “Black Holes” is a song about decay, emptiness, acceptance, and submission – reveling in the mysteries of dark energy and the power of surrendering to one’s insignificance. Ascension. If MC5, Neil Young, Joy Division, and Sun Ra had a song baby, it would be “Black Holes.”

Ti Bon Ange arrives June 9 on Austin’s Super Secret Records. Suspirians punctuate its release with a show that same Friday at Electric Church alongside Big Bill, Soaked, and Soda Lilies.

About New Berlin:
NEW BERLIN was conceived as a minimalist recording project in South Texas. The first live performances were as a one man band employing the use of drum machines and looping effects along with guitar playing and singing. Over the course of late 2015, various line-ups of musicians began to form around the songs and perform them live.

The rotating cast eventually solidified into a three piece consisting of MICHAEL FLANAGAN on guitar and vocals, GUSTAVO MARTINEZ on bass, and ANDREW RICHARDSON on drums. This line-up toured twice, first from Texas to Illinois in the Winter of 2015 supporting a 7” single in collaboration with Super Secret Records, and then again in the summer of 2016 from Texas to California supporting a second 7” single that was also released in collaboration with the same label.

In between tours, the group produced recordings at Sound of Rain in Edinburg, Texas, with help from engineers ALLEN JUAREZ and CHARLIE VELA. These recordings would eventually find themselves occupying the B-side of an album titled Basic Function. The A-side is comprised of recordings made between the summer and winter of 2015 before the band had coalesced.

The new record presents a history of New Berlin, from its beginnings as a living room recording experiment to its first attempts at working in a studio in Austin, Texas, with engineer IAN RUNDELL, and finally as a full-fledged band inspired by a few weeks touring during the winter through the heart of the United States. The current lineup of the band consists of Michael Flanagan, Gustavo Martinez, and Sebastian Garcia.

We’ve seen it before. Sardines praise God when the key twists the tin back. The wind blows the long brown locks of the prisoner’s hair as he breathes the fresh blue air. Out in the plains, the clouds break up. Now we’re free.

Coastline, coasting, cruising, streamline, airborne, horizon. Talking vast talk. When did the scope of rock move from the dance hall to the big round ball? Suspirians might know. We’ll have to get to command center first to find out where their transmission is coming from. Right now, out in the plains, their transmission is deafening. Some of that universal surround sound must have bounced off a canyon somewhere.

The eyes see you. The eyes are everywhere, orbitting; they all belong to the same entity. Image is conveyed to the command center, turning vision into Big Sound, an earthly and epic sound.

Vitamin D in the dirt; the wheels shoot the dirt through the window and into your mouth like Skittles. Don’t have to stop moving to take a leak. The sky is hot blue but turning white, brighter and brighter. 93 mph. The road pushes the bumper, the light pulls the fender. Behind the wheel, you do very little to contribute to the journey except root around for your lost pair of sunglasses and eat dirt.

The Suspirians are Marisa Pool, Stephanie Demopulos and Lisa Cameron. Their second album, Ti Bon Ange (Super Secret Records) will be released June 9.

One of the great thing about living in Austin is the abundance of bands trading friends and members to begin new projects, such as Lung Letters. The band takes members from acts like A Giant Dog and Flesh Lights, both whom we adore. As you’d expect, there’s a heavy handed rock n’ roll at work here, with Jeremy Steen handling the band’s vocal ferocity. If you’ve managed to catch the act live, then you’re already on board, but for those who haven’t, this track does a pretty good job of capturing the group’s energy on recor; there’s an animalistic quality not many can claim as their own. I’m particularly enjoying the moment between 1.45 and 2.30, bringing in some sly little hooks (reminds me of late 90s post-hardcore) before erupting into finale. Look for the Passing Days EP this Friday via Super Secret Records.

A brief lesson in etymology: Ti Bon Ange, the forthcoming sophomore album from Austin psych-rock trio Suspirians, gets its name from the Haitian Vodou for “little good angel”: the part of the human soul that departs the body every night for a trip to the dream world. It’s an apt title, considering how the band’s heady racket isn’t too far off from having an out-of-body experience — and these three are no ordinary shamans. Guitarist / vocalist Marisa Pool and bassist / keyboardist Stephanie Demopulos are staples in the Austin psych scene, while drummer Lisa Cameron cut her teeth performing with Roky Erickson and ST 37.

Arriving June 9 via Super Secret Records, Ti Bon Ange finds Suspirians parting the psychic sea for a remarkably accessible passage: 40 minutes’ worth of feedback-drenched, brain-melting rock that straddles the line between the Stooges’ impatient punk and Erickson’s heady jams. “We would end up getting lost in the songs together in a sort of epic fever dream,” Pool says in a press release. “We did not overthink or over-control anything on this record. It was all about going with the flow and following our instincts.” That primal approach informs “Nocturne,” the album’s new, gnarled single. Give it a spin below.

The record will be released June 16th via Super Secret Records. “Question” has a thick chorus full of rich guitar chords, with Quin Galavis forging a memorable vocal performance. The lyrics twist around the thought of finding clarity and leaving a situation, “it’s time to walk away from here, things have never been so clear.” Quin Galavis utilizes a standard verse/chorus and repeat structure to the song, with the rhythm section keeping the song on a steady pace. As the track rides through the bridge and into the final chorus, there is a reflective tone to be found in the music, as if finding hope is not as far away as one might think.

Quin Galavis opens up on Battery Life and the song, “The entire process of the Battery Line was about bleak optimism and ‘Question’ embodies the entire essence of the record… giving up on everything and hoping that it comes out on the other side.”
