Rising Philly emo band Sweet Pill have a brand new four-song EP known as Starchild arriving March 15 by way of Hopeless, and so they’ve simply shared a 3rd observe from it. “Eternal” finds Sweet Pill leaning into some clear, twinkly, American Football vibes, exhibiting off a a lot totally different aspect of them than the hard-charging anthems “Starchild” and “Chewed Up” did, and as guitarist Jayce Williams places it, “The music is soft and comfortable, but the lyrics still cut like a knife.”
“I remember playing the main riff of this while sitting on my couch. [Singer] Zayna [Youssef] was in the other room and immediately stopped what she was doing to sing the melody that popped into her head,” Williams continues. “When we write a song as a band, it is usually a meticulous and lengthy project. Writing ‘Eternal’ was smooth — the structure came together and overall just made sense. This is a new sound for Sweet Pill, similar to how ‘Starchild’ and ‘Chewed Up’ stand out from tracks on Where the Heart Is, and we’re excited to showcase our dynamics.”
