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.
The 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.
The 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.
A 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

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
