Stereogum Premieres Sweet Spirit "Baby Doll" Official Video - Debut Full Length Coming This Fall Prod. By Mike McCarthy

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Sweet Spirit has premiered an official music video for "Baby Doll" with Stereogum. The track appears on their debut, self-titled EP that was recently released on Nine Mile Records. The video was directed by the Austin-based filmmaker John Valley and was described by Stereogum as "Very Silence Of The Lambs."

The band recently returned home to Austin, TX after a headlining tour followed by a run of dates opening for Spoon. In celebration of the tour, Sweet Spirit collaborated with Britt Daniel of Spoon on a special tour 7".

Stereogum premiered the "stomping, gorgeous" A-side single "Have Mercy" that was penned by Sabrina Ellis and Andrew Cashen of Sweet Spirit along with Britt Daniel.

SPIN premiered the B-side single, a cover of Spoon's "Paper Tiger" from their 2002 release Kill The Moonlight. Harley Brown said, "For this version Sweet Spirit take off faster, harder, and punk-ier, replacing the original's percussive blasts of distorted air with rapid-fire hi-hats and blasts of ska horns."

Following a performance at the 2015 SXSW Music Conference, Todd Martens of The Los Angeles Times called Sweet Spirit "The musical embodiment of a pep rally, the promising band is all arms-in-the-air shout-alongs." Deborah Sengupta-Stith of the Austin American-Statesman said "Sabrina Ellis is a force of nature. Her voice soars, pierces through swells of sound even when she's barreling into a guitar riff or go-go dancing (which she does frequently and enthusiastically)."

Mike McCarthy will produce the band's debut full length due out this fall on Nine Mile Records.

Tour Dates:
7/10: Austin, TX - Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
8/28: San Antonio, TX - Paper Tiger
9/5: Dripping Springs, TX - Deep Eddy Distillery and Tasting Room
