IAN SWEET has announced a new album titled Shiverstruck. The follow-up to 2023’s SUCKER is set to arrive on July 24 via Polyvinyl, and it’s led by the infatuated new single ‘Criminal Kissing’. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist.
“‘Criminal Kissing’ is a love letter to making bad decisions,” Jilian Medford explained in a statement. “Like hooking up with your ex even though you’ll be left emotionally unraveling and picking up the pieces afterwards. Sometimes you just have to lean into the chaos spiral and see where it leads you.”
Written during her second year living in New York City, Medford worked on the new album with producer Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Soccer Mommy) at Maze Studios in Atlanta. “It was the hardest I’ve worked and ruminated on lyrics,” she recalled. “The writing was the heart of everything and had to feel really grounded. I put in crazy amounts of time and energy to make them feel like the truest reflection of who I am and where I’m at in my life right now.”
