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\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.Shooting Shadows\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2.My Friend's An Entomologist\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3.Last Man\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4.Rapture, Or...\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5.Abduction On Camera\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6.My Anchoress\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7.Cocoon\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8.Accent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9.Does He Want To Be The Weatherman?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10.Write Lightly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
