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 and 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.
In support of the album, Sweet Pill will embark on a global tour, headlining clubs and performing at festivals. As a woman of color in the alternative scene, Youssef hopes the album and tour will foster a judgment-free community for fans. Still, There’s a Glow stands as proof of the band’s survival and growth, inviting listeners to find their own light at the end of the tunnel.
