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.\u003c\/p\u003e\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.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\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 it's execution also materializes in Mondal's vocal performances.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\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\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"MusicCredits\" href=\"https:\/\/webami.aent.com\/you-say-i-romanticize\/098787147704#mt-2\" class=\"ui-tabs-anchor\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-musictabs\" class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-1\" role=\"tabpanel\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-jukebox\" class=\"tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Shooting Shadows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e My Friend's An Entomologist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Last Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Rapture, or\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Abduction on Camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e My Anchoress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Cocoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Accent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Does He Want to Be the Weatherman?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e Write Lightly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47347919814825,"sku":"098787147704-R","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/files\/SWEEPING_PROMISES_YOU_SAY_I_ROMANTICIZE_WHITE_WITH_SPLATTER_COLOR_VINYL_LP.png?v=1786716441","url":"https:\/\/shop.rockhall.com\/es\/products\/sweeping-promises-you-say-i-romanticize-white-with-splatter-color-vinyl-lp","provider":"Rock \u0026 Roll Hall of Fame Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
