The Cowboy, who you should surely know from their excellent Wi-Fi on the Prairie LP that dropped earlier in 2020, quietly published an "unreleased EP" to their Bandcamp page a couple months back. We casually floated the idea of releasing these tunes as a limited flexi EP to bassist "Big Sleeve" Peffer, who agreed, citing these 3 tracks as some of the group's best material. The EP has been properly mastered by Mikey Young and is accompanied by some breathtaking artwork from Brandon Gaffney (not to be confused with John Morton).

Sweeping Promises Hunger for a Way Out LP announced
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0431503262_16.jpg)
Straight from the depths of an unused Boston-area concrete laboratory comes the debut of Sweeping Promises. Written and recorded with a patented "single mic technique" just before quarantine, "Hunger for a Way Out", is a post-punk leaning gem of unpolished DIY sound. The title track kicks things off in absolutely classic fashion, full of spirited hooks that echo the early Rough Trade sound. Angular guitars and sharp synth notes float atop a raw rhythm section, while Lira Mondal's effervescent vocals truly define Sweeping Promises' sound. There's something simple yet otherworldly about these tracks - you have the DIY prowess of Kleenex/LiLiPUT and Girls at Our Best!, a brooding new wave-y minimal synth sound woven in, and an undeniable pop-leaning appeal captured in vibrant monaural glory. It's hard to mistake these ten tracks of naturally urgent and driving post-punk for anything other than sheer brilliance. Sweeping Promises deliver in spades on "Hunger for a Way Out". Packaged in a full color jacket with risograph lyric insert designed by D.H. Strother.
