Sweeping Promises: “Petit Four”
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Stripped down post punk bop with art school trendz. It’s Sweeping Promises. Out of Lawrence, Kansas, I think? The band blurb at Bandcamp and Sub Pop records namechecks a lot of different locations though, including “Boston brutalist ambiance.” Is that a reference to Government Center? Why do people feel the need to either attack or defend Government Center? It is what it is. Our highlighted track “Petit Four” is named after a small bite-sized confectionary. Off Good Living Is Coming For You. Via Feel It Records or Sub Pop Records. Take your fucking pick.
