Search - Dead Confederate :: Sugar

Winter storms are punishingly cold and uncomfortable, but are an
important source of water for spring growth. Likewise for Dead
Confederate, the series of New Jersey blizzards that besieged the
recording of sophomore album Sugar (a reference to the record
snowfall) also heralded growth from the darker, somber realm of their
critically acclaimed Wrecking Ball. With an evolving approach and
focused, streamlined sound, and a guest appearance from Dinosaur
Jr. frontman J Mascis, Sugar explores new styles beyond the aching,
bleak psychadelia of the debut.

Coming off of the success of The Rat from Wrecking Ball, which
received strong airplay at major alternative stations (Seattle, San
Diego, Portland, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, more), as well as a
network television debut under their belt, Dead Confederate return
with Sugar. With countless tours across the world with the likes of
Dinosaur Jr., The Whigs, Manchester Orchestra, Meat Puppets and
more, the band is ready for their first true album to reach the
masses at the end of the summer.
