Austin, Texas band Sweet Spirit is making waves in the music scene with their unique sound and energetic performances. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres, including rock, pop, and soul, they have created a distinct style that captivates audiences.
With influences ranging from Tele Novella to Stef Chura, A Giant Dog to Tacocat, Sweet Spirit has carved out their own space in the industry. Their music resonates with fans who appreciate raw talent and authentic storytelling.
Led by the dynamic duo of *Andrew Cashen* and *Sabrina Ellis*, Sweet Spirit delivers powerful vocals and infectious melodies that leave listeners wanting more. Whether you're a fan of indie rock or simply looking for something new to add to your playlist, Sweet Spirit is an artist you won't want to miss.

Sabrina Ellis, Andrew Cashen and Danny Blanchard (of Sweet Spirit) also perform together in the Austin Texas outfit A Giant Dog. Trinidad was recorded and produced by Stuart Sikes (Cat Power, Black Joe Lewis, White Stripes)

The six members of Sweet Spirit like pranks, glitter eyeshadow, and good stories. They also enjoy making music, as evidenced by the 12 bands they collectively play in. But above all, they love dancing, that place between exorcise and exercise. Sweet Spirit's famously raucous and sweaty live shows satisfy both their own and their audience's need for connection and release.

Trinidad marks the Merge debut of this mighty sextet from Austin, TX. The songs are stripped down yet more intricate than ever before. It's a pop record made by punk rockers sonically happy but lyrically bitter. Lustful, sassy, and passionate.

Touting inspirations as varied as Prince, T. Rex, William Onyeabor, ABBA, Roy Orbison, Shintaro Sakamoto, Francoise Hardy, and Robyn, Sweet Spirit have created an album that pulsates with more LinnDrum and synth than guitar. From the opening riff of Behold, Sabrina, Andrew, Danny, Josh, Jon, and Jake establish their slightly cynical world of fantasy, hard truths, and all manner of longing.
