About this product
SUGAREGG roars from the speakers and jumpstarts both heart and mind. Like My Bloody Valentine after three double espressos, opener InchAdd It OnInch zooms heavenward within seconds, epitomizing band leader Alicia Bognanno's newfound clarity of purpose, while the bass-driven melodies and propulsive beats of InchWhere to StartInch and InchLet YouInch are the musical equivalents of the sun piercing through a perpetually cloudy sky. A very old saying goes that no one saves us but ourselves. Recognizing and breaking free from the patterns impeding our forward progress can be transformative. Indeed, the third Bully album, SUGAREGG, may not ever have come to fruition had Bognanno not navigated every kind of upheaval imaginable and completely overhauled her working process along the way. The artist admits that finding the proper treatment for bipolar 2 disorder radically altered her mindset, freeing her from a cycle of paranoia and insecurity about her work. InchBeing able to finally navigate that opened the door for me to write about it,Inch she says, pointing to the sweet, swirly InchLike FireInch and slower, more contemplative songs such as InchPrismInch and InchCome DownInch as having been born of this new headspace. Even small changes like listening to music instead of the news first thing in the morning Inchmade me want to write and bring that pleasure to other people.Inch An unexpected foray into the film world also helped set the table for SUGAREGG when Bognanno was asked to write songs for the 2019 movie Her Smell, starring Elisabeth Moss as the frontwoman of the fictional rock band Something She. The experience was cathartic, infusing Bognanno with new energy for songwriting, and she dove into making the new album. Having engineered both previous Bully albums herself, Bognanno freed herself to focus on the songs by handing production and engineering duties to Grammy

![Bully - Losing - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6c13ee1e-869d-43bf-a578-85bc7223b95c.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
While Bully's 2013 debut Feels Like tumbled headlong into the precarious nature of Alicia Bognanno's young adult life, it's follow-up Losing is their first for Sub Pop (which in many ways feels like their spiritual home; Bully's sound is an outgrowth of the bands the tag championed in the late '80s and '90s). Losing is a document of the complexity of growth navigating breakups with sensitivity, learning not to flee from your troubles but to face them down no matter how messy they may be (InchWell, this isn't the summer I wanted,Inch she muses on InchBlame,Inch before admitting that she's trying to Inchcut down on booze and youInch). Written as the group slowed down from touring constantly and Bognanno attempted to adjust to how different a home schedule is from a road schedule, her songwriting has matured from the quick one-two punches of Feels Like to tracks that contemplate the necessity of space in both song structure and emotion. Bognanno's gruff yet dynamic voice is allowed to bloom, and it has a tenderness and openness to it here that's new. There are multiple layers of wistfulness and care to her delivery of lines like InchIt just takes one disagreement for you to remember the one time I fucked up,Inch from InchSpiral,Inch turning songs that could be one-dimensional kiss-offs into warm and complex expressions of regret.
![Bully - Lucky for You - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/c4f5d334-b2a9-4c69-9e9b-0de502779d40.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Lucky For You is Bully's most close-to-the-bone album yet. It's an album that's searing and unmistakably marked by it's creator's experiences, while still retaining the massive sound that Alicia Bognanno has become known for over the last decade. Her fourth album draws from personal pain and the universal struggle that is existing, learning, and moving on-and it's all soundtracked by Bognanno's rock-solid melodic sensibilities and a widescreen sound that's impossible to pin down when it comes to the textures explored. These ten songs are simply the most irresistible Bognanno's put to tape yet, making Lucky For You her greatest triumph to date in a career already packed with them. In that vein, Lucky For You is a document of perseverance in the face of the big and the small stuff. InchI'm so overly emotional and sensitive, it's a blessing and a curseInch she says with a laugh, but there's no downside to her expressions of vulnerability on this record; it's the latest bit of evidence that nothing can hold Bognanno back.
