“ SUGAREGG shows a musician at the top of their game, unafraid to take themselves a little less seriously than before.” ★★★★ ½ - The Forty Five “The record flows, hitting knee-skinning highs like “Stuck in Your Head” (“I just wanted to pick up the tempo!” Bognanno sing-songs as the band counts off), barn-burners like “You” (about, it seems, an absent parent) and the hauntingly discordant “Hours and Hours.” Whatever the subject matter, whatever the tempo, each track finds Bognanno full-throated, wild and free…their most self-assured album yet.” ★★★ ½ - RollingStone “ SUGAREGG is confident and assured.” ★★★★ - NME “Bognanno may be continuing a great tradition, but it provides a framework for catharsis that is deeply personal and candour that feels truly progressive.” ★★★★ - The Guardian “Most developed offering from Bully yet” - Vulture “…These songs are too insistent not to linger.” - The New Yorker “Sticky hooks, shout-along lyrics, and walloping, caffeinated riffs.” - Pitchfork “Full- throated, wild and free.” - Rolling Stone Dec 15 - Boston, MA - Brighton Music Hall Dec 12 - Philadelphia, PA - Underground Arts Dec 10 - Charlottesville, VA - The Southern Asheville, NC - Grey Eagle Tavern & Music HallįRI.

The visuals for all four songs are fantastic, very different, but majorly psychedelic.” - Brooklyn Vegan From there, it’s the pulsing, kaleidoscopic ‘Superstar’ (video by Nicholas Law), the neon dread of ‘Pink Funeral’ (full of strings right out of a horror film and a video by Scott Kiernan), and the melting arpeggiations of ‘Through Me’ (with a video by San Charoenchai). The hand-drawn animated lyric video, directed by Annapurna Kumar, is great too. You can hear echoes of Broadcast, Stereolab and Spacemen 3 (whose Sonic Boom produced their last album, 7). “Things begin with the stunning title track that mixes low-fi electronics with baroque touches and a stirring string section. But “Superstar,” while perhaps not the most novel of the bunch, is the one that gave me the spine-chilling sensation of listening to a bona fide Beach House classic for the first time.” (“Song of the Week”) - Stereogum “‘Like walking into a fairytale - it’s reminiscent of psychedelic ’60s folk and other kinds of evocative vintage pop.” - PAPER “Beach House’s music contains many gifts, but it’s the group’s ability to magnify life’s small dramas into sky-sized emotions that glitters (“Superstar”).” - New York Times ![]() Working with a live string ensemble for the first time, they summon a sound more surrealistic than anything on 2018’s 7, bringing to mind 1960s psychedelia, Stereolab, and Broadcast’s ‘Come On Let’s Go’.” - Pitchfork “Chapter One captured that storybook quality with sweeping ballads fit for a baroque fairytale, each guided by Victoria Legrand’s typically enchanting vocals.” - The AV Club What people are saying about Once Twice Melody: For more information on tickets, please visit.
