Sweet Pill's sophomore album, Still There's a Glow, is a resilient response to the mounting pressures following their breakout debut, Where The Heart Is. Facing exhaustion, the band scrapped early demos to prioritize mental health, ultimately crafting a raw document of self-reflection that vocalist Zayna Youssef calls "the hardest thing I've had to do."

Marking a significant evolution in their creative dynamic, the new album is the first written fully as a collaborative unit by Youssef, guitarists Jayce Williams and Sean McCall, bassist Ryan Cullen, and drummer Chris Kearney. Recorded at Gradwell House with longtime producers Matt Weber & Dave Downham, the record aims to bottle the kinetic energy of their live shows-performances that have earned them endorsements from stars like Hayley Williams and Doja Cat.

The resulting sound is an elevated mix of math-rock intricacy, urgent punk, and heartfelt emo. The album's narrative explores the concept of a lingering "glow" after a fire, symbolizing hope after hitting rock bottom. This theme is introduced by the single "No Control," a soaring track that tackles self-indulgence and boundaries, tracks like "Shameless" and "Make Me Sick" explore transitional chaos and the breaking of negative habits, offering a candid look at a band that has burned down it's old ways to rebuild something stronger.
