Get ready to crank up the volume, folks! Stockholm's hottest young punks Clutter are about to unleash their debut album 'Sugar Rush' on October 2 – and we can barely contain our excitement! The explosive news arrives with a sizzling new single, 'Grease Baby', a track that embodies the carefree spirit of summer and leaves you yearning for more.
After bursting onto the scene last year with their debut EP 'Clutter Loves You' – which earned them a coveted spot in the NME 100 for 2026 – this four-piece outfit has been building momentum like a runaway train. Now, they're set to take the indie world by storm with 'Sugar Rush', distributed through Swedish independent label PNKSLM Recordings, known for its eclectic roster of vibrant acts.
'Grease Baby' is an absolute banger – think bounding energy, scuzzy guitar riffs, and infectious hooks that'll stick in your head like a bad habit. The band describes the track as painting a picture of a 'never-ending summer', with lyrics that blend kraut-like rock elements with pop sensibilities. And with Måns Nyman at the helm for the accompanying video, the visuals are just as vibrant and immersive.
Lead singer Hilda Alnder gives us a glimpse into the album's lyrical themes: 'Sugar Rush' delves deeper into the complexities of becoming an adult on your own terms – embracing adulthood without losing that youthful spark. Recorded with producer Ove Jerndal during a creative retreat in rural Sweden, this album is a testament to Clutter's focused and immersive approach.
These Swedish upstarts have already made waves within the indie scene, supporting Spanish sensations Hinds on tour last year and impressing at Pitchfork Festival London. Their sound – intentionally 'jumbled and tangled' with 'fuzzy, loud punk squalls' – has earned critical acclaim for its thoughtful exploration of existential and political themes. Get ready to join the Sugar Rush revolution!
