Sumo Cyco has unveiled details about their upcoming fourth studio album, NEON VOID, which they describe as an exploration of modern life’s complexities, influenced by social media and technology. Written by lead singer Sky Sweetnam and guitarist Matt Drake during the pandemic on a gifted upright piano, the album reflects both personal struggles and a desire for vibrant reconnection. With tracks like “Villains” and “Shivers” already released, NEON VOID promises to blend alt. metal, punk, and pop in a refined manner. The album drops on October 24, with pre-saves available now.
Given the album’s themes of temptation and escape, how do you think musicians can effectively convey their personal struggles and societal observations through their art?
