In 2023, they followed up with \u003ci\u003eGood Living is Coming for You\u003c\/i\u003e, a satirical, hyper-critical rebuke of capitalism. Bassist\/vocalist Lira Mondal and guitarist Caufield Schnug decided to tilt their approach a few degrees forward on their third LP.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe big theme of \u003ci\u003eYou Say I Romanticize\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003cp\u003eThe visceral songwriting on \u003ci\u003eYou Say I Romanticize\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePRE-ORDER CUSTOMERS: Orders are expected to begin shipping the week of August 14, 2026.
