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.\n\nThe big theme of You Say I Romanticize is hinted at in it's 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 it's 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.","brand":"ALMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52349723476270,"sku":"1477","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/7961\/9118\/files\/4516673-3601276.jpg?v=1784858318","url":"https:\/\/ottsvillerecordgarage.com\/products\/sweeping-promises-you-say-i-romanticize-yellow-vinyl","provider":"Ottsville Record Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
