In 2023, they\u003cbr\u003efollowed up with Good Living is Coming for You, a satirical, hyper-critical\u003cbr\u003erebuke of capitalism that made Album of the Year lists for Pitchfork, NPR,\u003cbr\u003ePaste, and BBC, just to name a few. Bassist\/vocalist Lira Mondal and guitarist\u003cbr\u003eCaufield Schnug decided to tilt their approach a few degrees forward on their\u003cbr\u003ethird LP.\u003cbr\u003eThe big theme of You Say I Romanticize is hinted at in its title. Coming from a\u003cbr\u003elyric sung on album closer “Write Lightly”—a narrative about the importance\u003cbr\u003eof self-expression in writing being scrubbed away by “professional”\u003cbr\u003econcerns—many of the characters singer\/bassist Mondal fleshed out here\u003cbr\u003eare outcasts, marginalized by society and turned into fanatics for a\u003cbr\u003ecornucopia of specific causes.\u003cbr\u003eThe visceral songwriting on You Say I Romanticize features an equally visceral\u003cbr\u003emusical approach. Sweeping Promises brought live drummer Spenser Gralla\u003cbr\u003einto the recording sessions to give the songs a similar urgency to their live\u003cbr\u003eshow. The frenzy of its execution also materializes in Mondal’s vocal\u003cbr\u003eperformances.\u003cbr\u003eA shadow side exists along with Sweeping Promises’ love of their artistic\u003cbr\u003ecommunity—borne of weirdos channeling their “outcast” status into vibrant\u003cbr\u003eart and punk rock music. You Say I Romanticize takes the ethos Mondal and\u003cbr\u003eSchnug have developed and explores the obsessive, fanatical aspects of\u003cbr\u003ebeing ostracized and isolated by mainstream society\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 pt-2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003estreet date 8\/14\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45088066994376,"sku":"098787147704","price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/98_5f71ba04-a4e7-4d88-b74c-6108b5ea9f42.jpg?v=1779491793","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/098787147704","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
