Divine Sweater is set to release their latest album, A Time For Everything, this Friday, September 13, via Better Company Records. The album is a shimmering collection of indie-pop, deceptively upbeat yet deeply introspective, with production helmed by Better Company founder and San Fermin’s Allen Tate. Already garnering praise from outlets like BrooklynVegan, FLOOD Magazine, and Atwood Magazine, the album’s early single “Deep Side” has gone viral on TikTok, amassing over two million views and even catching the attention of actor Kevin Bacon.
Today, the band unveils the album’s title track, “A Time For Everything,” which drives home the record’s core message. The song takes its inspiration from the well-known passage often recited at funerals, exploring themes of death, grief, and the transformative power of loss. Set in the surreal haze of a funeral, “A Time For Everything” envisions the event as an elaborate magic show, where the harsh reality of death struggles to fully sink in. The track delves deep into the emotional aftermath of loss, urging listeners to embrace change and “burn it down and start all over” before it’s too late.
Musically, the album channels influences from acts like Haim, Alvvays, First Aid Kit, and Angel Olsen, blending jangly sophisti-pop hooks with darker, more contemplative lyrics. Divine Sweater leans into themes of mortality and renewal, documenting personal transformations amid a world in flux. The result is a cathartic, emotionally charged collection that wrestles with grief, mortality, and the desire for self-actualization.
With their dynamic live performances, Divine Sweater will hit the road this fall, making stops in NYC, Chicago, DC, and more. A Time For Everything is not only an exploration of life’s inevitable transitions but a powerful reminder to take control and embrace change before it’s too late.
