Today Sweet Nobody is sharing a new single, “Revenge,” listen to it HERE. The Long Beach band recently released three covers of songs from Joanna Newsom’s classic debut LP, The Milk–Eyed Mender. You can listen to that EP HERE.
Combining a deep love of melody with a penchant for noise emanating from suburban garages everywhere, Sweet Nobody writes anthems for the soft-spoken, the unassuming, the overlooked, and the underappreciated. Formed in 2017 and continuing despite the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Sweet Nobody has managed to release two albums recorded and mixed by LA indie rock wizard Joel Jerome—Loud Songs for Quiet People (2017) and We’re Trying Our Best (2021)—both of which have garnered acclaim and singles featured on tv and radio.
Their upcoming album, Driving Off to Nowhere sees them expand on their garagey jangle pop sound to include the New Wave transfiguration of late 50s/early 60s teenage pop, post-punk tones, unabashed 80s radio power pop and it’s heartland rock intersection, the romance of shoegaze / dream pop, college rock and those r&b influenced moments of 80s UK indie.
On “Revenge” (and those that seek it):
“It’s hard to feel like you’re the only one searching for the genuine among the accusing masses. The hardest thing to face in conflict is knowing that someone is lying and not knowing who it is. This song is for those without an angle. It’s for those who love the straightforward.”
-Joy Deyo / Sweet Nobody
