About Sussex

Sussex invites you to cross The Ocean Wide

Featuring renowned songwriter and performer Rob Lutes, with vibraphonist Michael Emenau, the genre-defying Montreal roots project, Sussex, unveils its new album, suitably titled, The Ocean Wide.

Following the success of the group's first record, Parade Day (2016), and extensive touring, Sussex is back with a second album that will transport you to an equally extraordinary and singular musical universe.

With Emenau on vibraphone and pianica and Lutes on guitar, banjo,and vocals, The Ocean Wide is an eclectic, exhilarating journey — at times joyful, at times melancholy — that takes us improbably right to the very heart of American roots music.

Featuring special guests Ivanhoe Jolicoeur on trumpet, and Bruno Lamarche on clarinet and saxophone, and recorded and mixed by renowned Montreal engineer Rob Heaney (Cirque du Soleil, Patrick Watson), The Ocean Wide features 13 new original songs that juxtapose multiple genres including folk, roots, and blues, and ventures into New Orleans jazz, Americana, country, and, on the title track itself, bebop and bluegrass.

The band also offers up a superb reinterpretation of Steve Goodman's gem, “Lookin’ for Trouble.”

The Ocean Wide is roots music in its more adventurous, exciting sense. The album explores a vast musical world and defies categorization while at the same time transporting us to the seductive sound of American music in the first half of the 20th century.

The Ocean Wide is available on September 6, 2019.


“As a group, Sussex has come up with a pile of songs delivered in a train-rambling fashion that immediately sets an adventurous mood. Their approach to performance is unique in that they have the ability to capture an audience without the trappings of flashy showmanship. Their stories are genuine, honest and smart. Only people who are equally hip off the stage as they are can pull this off.”
- Ian Sherwood

UN DEUXIÈME ALBUM POUR LA FORMATION
SUSSEX
Sussex vous invite à traverser « The Ocean Wide »
Formé des musiciens de renommée internationale, l’auteur-compositeur et interprète Rob Lutes et du vibraphoniste Michael Emenau, le groupe Sussex dévoile son tout nouvel album intitulé The Ocean Wide.
Suite au succès du premier album et de la tournée Parade Day, Sussex est de retour avec un second opus qui vous transportera dans un univers d’une musicalité extraordinaire. Avec Emenau au vibraphone et au pianica et Lutes à la guitare, banjo et à la voix vibrante, The Ocean Wide est un voyage éclectique, mélancolique, qui plonge au cœur même de la scène roots américaine.
Pour cet album, le duo s’est entouré d’invités spéciaux dont Ivanhoe Jolicoeur à la trompette et Bruno Lamarche à la clarinette et au saxophone. Enregistré et mixé par le célèbre ingénieur montréalais Rob Heaney (Cirque du Soleil, Patrick Watson), The Ocean Wide est un album réunissant treize chansons originales. Un habile mélange de sonorités pures; allant du folk, au blues, en passant par les frontières du jazz, de l’Americana, frôlant parfois le country. Sur cet album, le groupe se permet également une réinterprétation toute personnelle de Lookin' for Trouble de l’artiste Steve Goodman.
The Ocean Wide est une traversée de styles musicaux actuels, qui en même temps nous transporte dans les séduisantes et immortelles sonorités roots américaines.
