Sweeping Promises

Lawrence, KS

You won’t believe the post-punk racket two humanoids can conjure up when you behold Sweeping Promises. The band’s artsy take on indie rock has been heard on two releases through Sub Pop Records that emphasize simple, imprecise, organic recording techniques. After missing last year, Sled Island couldn’t be more pleased to bring them back.

 Two members of Snõõper stand outdoors at night in heavy artificial fog, surrounded by large speaker‑like boxes and a traffic light. One person in sunglasses and a blue‑and‑white long‑sleeve shirt stands upright, while the other, wearing a pink‑and‑white top, bends forward near the traffic light. Bright flash lighting creates a stark, surreal scene against the dark background.
