Details
Sweet Bulbsʼ self-titled debut album is all about intensity. Although on the surface their saccharine pop marinating in warm distortion seems a well-worn combination, the band possesses something that sets them apart from many of their fellow Brooklynites. Guitarist Mike Sheffield provides the perfect foil for Inna Mkrtycheva's vocal melodies, injecting each song with vital discord and dissonance. Ray Weiss hits his drums with a masterful blend of wildness and precision, while Jack Wolfʼs bass adds countermelody and fuzz. This record is loud and forceful, yet nimble and well crafted. As Sweet Bulbs barrels forward the hooks come with headspinning frequency, far outpacing whatever your last favorite band was. There is nothing "chill" about Sweet Bulbs, and thank God for that. LP comes with a full color poster.
