Sweet Spirit - Trinidad - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Trinidad marks the Merge debut of this mighty sextet from Austin, TX. The songs are stripped down yet more intricate than ever before. It's a pop record made by punk rockers-sonically happy but lyrically bitter. Lustful, sassy, and passionate. Touting inspirations as varied as Prince, T. Rex, William Onyeabor, ABBA, Roy Orbison, Shintaro Sakamoto, Francoise Hardy, and Robyn, Sweet Spirit have created an album that pulsates with more LinnDrum and synth than guitar. From the opening riff of InchBehold,Inch Sabrina, Andrew, Danny, Josh, Jon, and Jake establish their slightly cynical world of fantasy, hard truths, and all manner of longing. InchNo DancingInch bemoans the lack of magic in the club, while live favorite InchFingerprintsInch sets out to Inchget you away from your lover.Inch Album Tracks 1. Behold 2. Fear Is a Lie 3.
