Malaysian acts can often be accused of lacking in sophistication, or thought. But Shuuna, consisting of duo Shuu and Moja, may just offer a retort to that.
Their debut EP “Torsades de Pointes” brims and pulses with a freshness that’s not been heard in these parts for a while now, at least not from an act like them. With a distinct folk base, the duo then uncages their sonic imagination to go wherever it needs to.
There are traces of shoegaze textures to Hacienda-approved acid rock. It’s a record adapt for both the big outdoors and the four walls of your bedroom. - Beehype Best of 2017 Malaysia Music by Adrian Yap
Moja (guitar/synth) is an active member of the alternative rock band, <a href="spotify:artist:5GIjxSM212qz8DJl7wrH4O" data-name="Monalyssa">Monalyssa</a> when they had Shuu (vocals/guitar) as their guest singer from one gig to another. Eventually, the duo decided to form <a href="spotify:artist:5IWgjcy3wzhx60QmWiu3ks" data-name="Shuuna">Shuuna</a> late 2016 with the help of other experienced musicians as sessions to start their journey as a Malay folk band.
They were still looking for their sound for a while as they ended up performing more as a duo rather than as a band due to various challenges. It wasn't until they released their first EP titled <a href="spotify:album:7vkDWsPox5lLeycWfZwJBm" data-name="Torsades de Pointes">Torsades de Pointes</a> in March 2017 did they finally rebranded themselves as an indie-electronic-shoegaze sounding band as how their songs echoes throughout their first EP.
The pair was later joined by Fai (drums) of <a href="spotify:artist:1Exu6BO50a3Os5qSONX3d7" data-name="Paper Plains">Paper Plains</a> who then enhanced the whole dynamic of the band. Currently they are in the midst of recording their new album as we speak.
