Kansas-based duo Sweeping Promises are with two-minutes-forty-five-seconds of most excellent golden art-punk in the form of their new single, ‘Shooting Shadows‘. With a lyric that recalls Whoopi Goldberg’s iconic declaration, the track features lead singer Lira Mondal shredding her throat, howling, ‘Don’t want ’em in my house.’

Sweeping Promises’ introduction to the global punk underground was their debut album, Hunger for a Way Out, one of the breakout successes in music during 2020’s pandemic lockdown. In 2023, they followed up with the acclaimed Good Living is Coming for You that saw guitarist/producer Caufield Schnug and bassist/vocalist Lira Mondal testing the limits of their home-recording resourcefulness as freshly minted Kansans – new place, new space. Now, the band is back with a frenetic new album: You Say I Romanticize.
