The smart New York indie-rock trio return with their third album after 2018’s acclaimed LP Twentytwo In Blue with a diverse set of new sounds and songs created mainly in a home studio over lockdown and perhaps their most innovative yet. The length of time seems to have been used well, and benefited from not rushing through expensive outside studio sessions. Swapping lead vocals, and bassist Julia Cumming and guitarist Nick Kivlen, alongside drummer Olive Faber seem to reach new sonic territory, mixing psychedelia, pop and indie rock. The title, and overall theme, points to letting go of “fast pleasures, the sugar of life”, and the joy of relinquishing this. It’s a short, sharp, but tightly packed LP of 35 minutes, but full of ingenuity, from opener Who Put You Up To This? with Cummings’ soaring vocals to In Flight, Roll The Dice, I Don’t Have Control Sometimes and the title track as highlights. Out on Mom + Pop Records.
