Release dates are subject to alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSweeping Promises’ introduction to the global punk underground was their debut album, Hunger for a Way Out, which ended up being one of the breakout successes in music during pandemic lockdown. In 2023, they followed up with Good Living is Coming for You, a satirical, hyper-critical rebuke of capitalism that made Album of the Year lists for Pitchfork, NPR, Paste, and BBC, just to name a few. Bassist\/vocalist Lira Mondal and guitarist Caufield Schnug decided to tilt their approach a few degrees forward on their third LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe big theme of You Say I Romanticize is hinted at in its title. Coming from a lyric sung on album closer “Write Lightly”—a narrative about the importance of self-expression in writing being scrubbed away by “professional” concerns—many of the characters singer\/bassist Mondal fleshed out here are outcasts, marginalized by society and turned into fanatics for a cornucopia of specific causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visceral songwriting on You Say I Romanticize features an equally visceral musical approach. Sweeping Promises brought live drummer Spenser Gralla into the recording sessions to give the songs a similar urgency to their live show. The frenzy of its execution also materializes in Mondal’s vocal performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA shadow side exists along with Sweeping Promises’ love of their artistic community—borne of weirdos channeling their “outcast” status into vibrant art and punk rock music. You Say I Romanticize takes the ethos Mondal and Schnug have developed and explores the obsessive, fanatical aspects of being ostracized and isolated by mainstream society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1.Shooting Shadows\u003cbr\u003e\n2.My Friend's An Entomologist\u003cbr\u003e\n3.Last Man\u003cbr\u003e\n4.Rapture, Or...\u003cbr\u003e\n5.Abduction On Camera\u003cbr\u003e\n6.My Anchoress\u003cbr\u003e\n7.Cocoon\u003cbr\u003e\n8.Accent\u003cbr\u003e\n9.Does He Want To Be The Weatherman?\u003cbr\u003e\n10.Write Lightly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57263829614967,"sku":"SP1477X","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/0956\/1910\/files\/0098787147704_6A10740D.jpg?v=1783340038","url":"https:\/\/thejazzvault.com\/products\/sweeping-promises-you-say-i-romanticize-loser-edition-magenta-vinyl-vinyl-lp-pre-order","provider":"The Jazz Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
