Bully Announce New LP 'Sugaregg', Stream "Where to Start"

Nashville rock band Bully have announced the release of their third studio album 'Sugaregg'.

The follow-up to 2017's Losing, was produced and mixed with John Congleton (Cloud Nothings, Angel Olsen, St. Vincent, Swans, etc), and will be out on August 21st via Sub Pop. Pre-order your copy here.

Frontwoman Alicia Bognanno's story of bringing SUGAREGG to life comes after the artist had to face her own life in a stark and real way, having had to find proper treatment for her bipolar 2 disorder before the record was able to take off. "There was change that needed to happen and it happened on this record. Derailing my ego and insecurities allowed me to give these songs the attention they deserved," Bognanno said in a press release. "This is me longing to see the bigger picture, motivated and eager for contentment in the best way," she added. "I hope the happy go lucky / fuck-it-all attitude shines through some of these songs because I really did feel like I was reentering a place I hadn't been to in a while and was excited to be back there." 

With 14 songs on tape, Bognanno and friends left Pachyderm thinking SUGAREGG was done. But once back home in Nashville, she realized there was more to be written, and spent the next five months doing exactly that. Moving to Palace Studios in Toronto with Graham Walsh (Alvvays, METZ, !!!), Bognanno and Mitchell recorded “Where to Start” and “Let You,” which proved to be two of the new album’s key tracks.

Ultimately, SUGAREGG is a testament that profound change can yield profound results — in this case, the most expressive and powerful music of Bognanno’s career. “This is me longing to see the bigger picture, motivated and eager for contentment in the best way,” she says. “I hope the happy go lucky / fuck-it-all attitude shines through some of these songs because I really did feel like I was reentering a place I hadn’t been to in a while and was excited to be back there.”

The band have also shared an Alan Del Rio Ortiz-directed video for the record's first single, "Where to Start," a track described as the "musical equivalent of the sun piercing through a perpetually cloudy sky."

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for "Where to Start" below.

Sugaregg Tracklist:
01. Add It On
02. Every Tradition
03. Where to Start

07. Like Fire
08. Stuck in Your Head
09. Come Down
10. Not Ashamed
