SWEEPING PROMISES
GOOD LIVING IS COMING FOR YOU (SUB POP)
Good Living Is Coming For You was recorded and produced by Sweeping Promises' members Lira Mondal and Caufield Schnug in their home studio in Lawrence, KS, and follows their 2020 debut, Hunger for a Way Out, and their insistent 2021 single, "Pain Without a Touch".
NPR Music raved "Sometimes the best pop songs stick to the basics: no muss, no fuss. With the Sweeping Promises, they add some fuzz.
The same way the Pixies wrote pop songs with a nasty sheen, this Boston post-punk band dirties up earworm melodies with a lo-fi charm.
You can play spot the influence all over this debut: Young Marble Giants here, Kleenex/LiLiPUT there, some B-52s and Blondie for good measure.
Lira Mondal has a voice that leaps and bounds with the enthusiasm of a bedroom performance, hairbrush in hand.
But mostly, you can hear a band dream out loud..."
