Do you know All these roads I got lost And I told Everyone What I'll be Now they all se What makes up A glowing star A real life star I remember what she sang about That thing about San Jose Glued down by the gas station pump and Watching all my dreams slip away Exorcists Creates the schism Between what was And what will be But not for free Don't learn from me cause you will be Greasy handed tired knees For eternity I remember what she sang about That thing about San Jose Glued down by the gas station pump and Watching all my dreams slip away Not a single friend is left here Breathing free in San Jose I can't park their cars without a license A year a day Stammering, as I recount my dreams violent scenes - behind my lids sits in place for diversion no aversion i’d rather see this than reality I remember what she sang about That thing about San Jose Glued down by the gas station pump and Watching all my dreams slip away Not a single friend is left here Breathing free in San Jose I can't park their cars without a license A year a day

Voice is guttural seems to know it all speaks when I'm asleep digs their thumb deep gambles away gifts, wives and pay squanders all away It shares my birthday and it blows out all my candles though it never gave me anything Some serial killers and Kurt were also born as pisces suns you try to tell me something Spreading rumors Lives in tumors Laughs at every tear Paints my every fear On the mirror Getting clearer Getting clearer It shares my birthday and it blows out all my candles though it never gave me anything Hands firm on my shoulders smiles just as the flash goes off it knows what this year will bring It shares my birthday and it blows out all my candles though it never gave me anything Hands firm on my shoulders smiles just as the flash goes off it knows what this year will bring Some serial killers and Kurt were also born as pisces suns you try to tell me something

about

Swedish three-piece Spunsugar is releasing new track "San Jose", the third single off their upcoming new album "A Hole Forever", with forthcoming sophomore album due to release on 17th November 2023.

”This song is an homage (and sort of a response) to the Dione Warwick song "Do you know the way to San José" (1968). This is a song about dreams, mainly, broken ones. About pumping gas for the people who achieved theirs. Fittingly, this song has a beachy indie vibe paired with a grungey sound. It lulls you in with a crisp coolness, and then hits you with a distorted riff that chugs away under breathy shoegaze vocals”.

If you study the release closer you'll notice that there's a bonus track that features one of Swedens most heavy weight songwriters, Andreas Mattsson, in this context most known for being the founder, singer and songwriter in legendary swindie pop band Popsicle.

Growing up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden, Spunsugar are based in Malmö, Sweden and consist of band members Cordelia Moreau, Elin Ramstedt and Felix Sjöström.. Each member carries a separate musical background, leading to a melting pot of their distinct influences. Some of the group’s most cherished artists are Cocteau Twins, Red House Painters, Hole, Electric Youth, Ramones,and Misfits.

Spunsugar dropped their critically acclaimed debut album "Drive-Through Chapel" in 2020 and an EP "Things That I Confuse" in 2021, leading to an abundance of media support from Steve Lamacq at BBC Radio 6 Music, The Independent, The Line of Best Fit, Nothing but Hope and Passion, and more. They recently released two singles titled ‘Skin Unwell’ on 14th June 2023, and "It Never Gave Me Anything" on 18th August 2023 that has set the tone for the band’s impending electrifying releases.

Spunsugar’s new LP "A Hole Forever" will further discuss dense topics and expose the realities of coming to terms with internal shame. The album tackles themes about getting older and confessing dark secrets with the mindset that life is a slow death.

about

Spunsugar image

Spunsugar Malmö, Sweden

Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound. ... more
