LukeSpurs Less bombastic than the previous albums, this allows Sabrina's voice to shine better than ever Favorite track: Empty Bottle.

wavyknife Llorando is such a solid track that ties so much together for this band in yet another killer album!

The inventory in the single here is brilliant. A little piano, mixed spanish/english lyrics (with a wink to mariachi!?), the funky bass and disco backing, steel guitar, synth... and even a motherfucking violin?

All this in a song about longing that makes you want to dance?! Just tears your heart out. Favorite track: Llorando.

about

Sweet Spirit Austin, Texas

The six members of Sweet Spirit like pranks, glitter eyeshadow, and good stories. They also enjoy making music, as evidenced by the 12 bands they collectively play in. But above all, they love dancing, that place between exorcise and exercise. Sweet Spirit’s famously raucous and sweaty live shows satisfy both their own and their audience’s need for connection and release. ... more
