Bassist\/vocalist Lira Mondal and guitarist Caufield Schnug decided to tilt their approach a few degrees forward on their third LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this product:\u003c\/strong\u003e this release is available on CD and LP formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LP is pressed on magenta vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tangled Parrot","offers":[{"title":"CD \/ Mint \/ Mint","offer_id":51001982157047,"sku":"SPCD1477","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magenta Vinyl LP \/ Mint \/ Mint","offer_id":51001982189815,"sku":"SP1477X","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/7881\/8916\/files\/215968-sweeping-promises-you-say-i-romanticize.jpg?v=1786030503","url":"https:\/\/tangledparrot.com\/products\/spcd1477","provider":"Tangled Parrot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
