Sweeping Promises share new song, "Cocoon"
Kansas-based post-punk duo Sweeping Promises have released "Cocoon", the latest single from their upcoming album, You Say I Romanticize.
"Cocoon" follows lead single and album opener "Shooting Shadows". Speaking about the single, the band share, "We wrote 'Cocoon' years ago to extend our live set back when we only knew the ten songs from our first album. It has become a staple of our live set over the years and has undergone several metamorphoses in our home studio, as we wanted to develop this track in a disarming and dead-simple way for the ‘live sound’ mentality of YSIR.
Discussing the video concept, they continue, "The music video intercuts homegrown live footage of the band playing shows in the Kansas community with the sculptural and psychogeographic idea of the cocoon, which entices and finally envelops our singer, Lira Mondal.”
You Say I Romanticize is released on 14 August via Sub Pop.
