Lawrence All Ages Noise Destination is thrilled to welcome back LFK’s own Sweeping Promises to the White Schoolhouse. Support TBA.
Tickets on sale June 16th at 8am.
Sweeping Promises return with their third record, You Say I Romanticize, coming out on August 14th via the legendary Sub Pop Records. Recorded over an 18-month period, You Say I Romanticize is a tribute to the chaos of creation and collaboration under shifting circumstances. Guitarist Caufield Schnug and bassist/vocalist Lira Mondal found and tested themselves in their combination tour house and recording studio in Lawrence, annually working on dozens of albums from other bands, hosting tour stops, planning shows, and the like. After an immersive process of tracking and whittling down YSIR demos and carving out an idiosyncratic chamber-recording method for the album’s intentional wall-of-sound, the duo brought in touring drummer Spenser Gralla to play the songs as the band would on stage.
The album’s frenzied execution, akin to the group’s renowned live show, prevails most of all in Mondal’s exhilarating vocals. Whereas previously, you might have heard a growl here and there on certain Sweeping Promises tracks, the band’s formidable singer shouts, roars, hits all sorts of tricky notes, and shreds her throat all over the record.
You Say I Romanticize follows the release of their acclaimed 2023 album Good Living Is Coming for You, which Rolling Stone described as “...relentlessly catchy, gloriously low-fi punk.” GLICFY also appeared on Pitchfork, NPR, PASTE, and the BBC’s year-end lists, just to name a few.
Tickets $18 advance/$20 day of show.
Doors at 7, music at 7:30.
