Divine Sweater: “Breadwinner”
A medium tempo pop rejuvenation. Our highlighted track “Breadwinner” from Divine Sweater might be about the knotty intersection of emotional truths and cultural norms. Potentially heavy stuff. But the texture of the tune fizzes lightly like sparkling wine. In other words, to use an adjective I learned while writing up a song by The Daylilies, “pétillant.” A whole lotta fucking pétillant.
