SULLEST-S/T LP
SULLEST-S/T LP is $22.00 plus shipping.
Sullest’s Self-Titled is a deeply personal and introspective look back at the myths and legends of youth that we try to carry with authenticity into adulthood. A sentimental and self-actualizing reflection from your core memories throughout all the different versions of the person you become. On this album, Sullest rejects the idea that the human experience makes you jaded as you age. They chose rather to own their short-comings, effect changes where they can, and not turn into shitty adults.
In addition to tackling such intimate subject content, Self-Titled also showcases the evolution Sullest’s sound has undergone since their last release. On their 2018 EP Fashionable Male, Sullest cuts their teeth utilizing a sort of “get in, get out” approach with most tracks never breaking 3 minutes. On their debut full length, their songwriting maturity is evident with a warmer, more natural approach giving the music time to breathe and to find a resolute finish. “Oh No, My Smoking Hand” elaborates on this idea, with additional instrumentation and crushing lows when vocalist Mike Pagano sings “Still haven’t found a place to call my home. I wonder everyday, what will I find?” complimented by three part harmonies and angular guitar work. The raucous energy Sullest is known for is not hard to find, however. “Windows 9595” stands out with its big yell-able hooks of “Where are the good old days? Right in front of your fucking face” over sweetly melodic guitar harmonies. But, their lead off single “Dirt Mall” showcases the most realized and polished example of their new blend of “Stoner Punk” accompanied by a music video focusing around the nostalgia of youth without letting those memories bury you.
Sullest’s Self-Titled is set to release on Friday December 13th through Armageddon Label. Vinyl and cassette versions of the album can be pre-ordered through dropdeadhc.com or sullest.bandcamp.com and will be streaming on all major platforms on its release date.
