On IAN SWEETs upcoming full-length album,SUCKER, creative mastermindJilian Medforddelivers the strongest and most personal batch of songs shes ever written - brimming with despair, vulnerability, and remorse. Im a sucker for the pain and the heartbreak, she sings on standout SUCKER, which features woozy synth lines and droney guitar work that touches on themes of uncertainty. Recorded atThe Outlier Inn, nestled in New York states southern Catskill mountains, and mixed byAl Carlson(St. Vincent, Weyes Blood, Jessica Pratt), the album showcases Medfords ability to craft beautiful pop songs that tug at your heartstrings while at the same time, busting wide open with layers of lush synths and overblown guitars. These songs are full of heartache and longing - a sadness Medford addresses head-on in what is undeniably her best album to date.
IAN SWEETs music has been streamed millions of times worldwide and has been featured in publications such asFADER, Stereogum, New Yorker, Rolling Stone,andPitchfork, who included her last full-length album,Show Me How You Disappear, in theirBest Rock Albums of 2021list and profiled Medford in a2021 Risingfeature.
