Divine Sweater is set to release their new studio album, A Time For Everything, on September 13 via Better Company Records. This captivating collection of shimmering indie-pop tracks features production by Allen Tate, founder of San Fermin and head of Better Company. The album has already garnered attention, with the announcement of the charming sophistipop single “Counterparts,” receiving praise from outlets like BrooklynVegan, GRRRL Music, WBUR, and more. The band’s earlier release this year, “Deep Side,” went viral on TikTok, amassing over two million views and catching the eye of Kevin Bacon.
The new single “Light Taker,” which debuted with FLOOD Magazine, explores themes of self-destruction. In the song, Divine Sweater urges listeners to push themselves to the limit—get minimal sleep, start a fight, break things, let their bodies ache, and keep moving without pause. The track is grungy, intense, and explosive, capturing the chaotic feeling of losing control in the dead of night. On an album focused on self-transformation, “Light Taker” serves as the catalyst, accelerating the journey.
A Time For Everything delves into themes of endings and beginnings, exploring how we cope with mortality, loss, and grief, and the resilience needed to emerge stronger. Fearlessly honest, the album features sonic influences from Haim, Alvvays, First Aid Kit, and Angel Olsen. The darker subject matter reflects Divine Sweater’s exploration of uncertain territories, achieving catharsis through their confrontation with mortality.
