Sweet Spirit "Touch"
Austin band Sweet Spirit drops another new single – "Touch" – in anticipation of their ACL Music Festival debut next month (Oct 6 at 3:30pm on the BMI Stage + a late night ACL show on Oct 11 at Mohawk with Big Thief). Unlike this summer's bouncy "Los Lonely Girls," "Touch" has a more sinister aesthetic. Call it a sign of the times. Singer and co-songwriter Sabrina Ellis says: "When Andrew (Cashen) and I were writing one day, he kept coming back to this great riff. I had been jotting ideas down on sticky notes. They were dark. These feel like dark days. But I wanted to play with this idea of a turning tide; of a woman glaring sardonically back over her shoulder:"
You're the President I'm the modern Queen God knows every story needs an end
It's a sharp, powerful, and searing indictment of privilege and power: Whip out your genius if you love it so much
"Touch" was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Spoon, Flaming Lips, MGMT), who's managed to amplify the band's already considerable sonic punch. Look for Sweet Spirit to get back out on the road extensively in early 2019, with that new record in tow.
