As unafraid of explosive rock as they are of admitting their love on a heart-on-sleeve ballad, Sweet Mullet favours a fearless kind of experimentation—and that's what makes their output so dynamic and exciting. The all-male five-piece ride on a wave of frenetic guitar-fuelled energy, yet it's a wave that's driven by an undercurrent of melancholy and raw emotion. Unexpected as this combination is, the band are musically astute enough to bring these disparate elements together in a way that crosses musical lines while also joining the musical dots—and it genuinely works.
