Sweeping Promises — Shooting Shadows

Played: 2026-06-11 (Segment 6 — Punk / post-punk run) (TikTok) (new release)

Lead single and opener of You Say I Romanticize (out 14 August 2026 on Sub Pop), the third LP from the duo of Lira Mondal and Caufield Schnug, recorded in their Kansas home studio. A post-punk riot built on an audacious bassline. Opens the punk run with a small-label band doing more with less — the show's kind of pick.

Sweeping Promises — Cocoon

Kansas-based post-punk duo (Lira Mondal and Caufield Schnug). "Cocoon" is the second single from their third album, You Say I Romanticize (Sub Pop, out 14 August 2026), following lead single "Shooting Shadows". The band wrote it years ago to pad out early live sets when they only had ten songs; it's since gone through several studio versions chasing that original "live sound." The video intercuts homegrown live footage from their Kansas community with Mondal enveloped in a sculptural cocoon.
