Sugar 04:07
Creepy little pixie, crawled into my head Made me indecisive Caught the waves, followed them down Wanted to, let it all go For an instance I spoke, couldn't understand I felt liquid, pouring out Said life is death, from the cradle to the grave Drifted away, and then I heard, my name   It just takes and takes, eats away Quake, shake, shy away It makes haste, through the veins So why do we, let it stay   Carry the weight, carry the weight Carry the weight, carry the weight Through roads and tolls, all unknown Shapes, shades, silhouettes and bones   Witches and wraiths creep and crawl The longer they slip, the harder they fall Crave the sugar, taste the sugar Taste the sugar, taste the sugar Carry the weight, carry the weight Carry the weight, carry the weight Crave the sugar, taste the sugar Taste the sugar, taste the sugar   Carry the weight, carry the weight Carry the weight, carry the weight Crave the sugar, taste the sugar Taste the sugar, taste the sugar

Wanderlust 04:15
Wanderlust has taken its toll, and a change is coming on, a magazine in an empty bar, stained by ashes and bodily fluids, and it wants to tell me something   Aaa...   There's a man on the front cover, he's lost his teeth and his youth, but the man is always smiling, always thinking of greener pastures, and he hopes he'll get off easy   Aaa...
3.
My Liberator 02:42
Honestly, silver screens wear me out, take away, my shout Here's a way, take a pill, cure your ills, turn the lights, back home   It is in the zeitgeist, in the way we don´t mind, aha   I still have this itch, so come my liberator, give me your kiss   It is in the zeitgeist, in the way we don´t mind, aha

Listened to the sound of your engine failure, the torment had begun And it sputtered lively, then it went and died, the race was finally run   And the years that came, why did they feel so empty, nothing more to break, nothing more to break
5.
Harvest 04:44
One step away, from the sunshine phase, One step away, could've made this great   And away it goes, and away we go, and away it goes, and away it all goes   We breathed, we lived, and we learned to love But the seasons came, and the harvest spoiled   And away it goes, and away we go, and away it goes, and away it all goes   One step away, from the glory days, Always too late, they never came   And away it goes, and away we go, and away it goes, and away it all goes
6.
Inside 04:03
You're under my skin, radiating light You're under my skin, bleeding me dry   I've got it all inside, waiting to come out, I've got it all inside, waiting to come out, I've got all this inside, waiting to come out I've got all this inside   It's different now, different this time You're under my skin, grinding me down   Thinking about you, every day Thinking about you, every night   I've got it all inside, waiting to come out I've got it all inside, waiting to come out
7.
I'm trying my best, not to shake, the hippy hippy shake I'm trying my best, not to let, my head eat me up I'm trying my best, not to lie, but I lie all the time I'm trying my best to earn your love, earn your love, earn your love   I dreamed I had, a house, that burned down to the ground I dreamed I was, younger, younger than now I dreamed I had brothers, a mother and a father I dreamed I lived, lived, really lived   I'm trying my best, not to shake, the hippy hippy shake I'm trying my best, not to let my head, eat me up I'm trying my best, not to lie, but I lie all the time I'm trying my best to earn your love, earn your love, earn your love   To earn your love, to earn your love (It's all in here, on the dance floor, it's a party that never ends)
8.
We'll press on, till the end of the world, we'll keep those cogs turning, if you could see, if you could see it, everything, that we've built, on these bodies, they sink through, the earth, into oblivion, and little, by little, we take over   Now heretics open your windows, shout into the night, play your rebel waltz, the electricity sizzles, it's coming out, through the walls, can you see it, can you feel it, suddenly everything's illuminated   Lovers cut, lovers come, lovers still, lovers drug, lovers kill It's just your imagination, your eternal darkness Here it comes, the confusion, out there, something rumbles   The city's, destroying itself, we've sinned, now the foundation breaks, the chains rust, and we break free, [….] And we feel, for the first time in a century, and we feel, for the first time in a century
9.
Six-figure income, money for the kids Is this what you have become, doesn't it really bring you down?   You're a blight, you're sick, a cancer, nothing for the kids This is what you have become, doesn't it really bring you down?   Burn it, all down, nothing for the kids Loveless, loveless, loveless, loveless

about

The followup to 2012's critically-acclaimed "Colossus", ”Sugar" revives the dark and driven alt-rock the Swedes made their name with -equal parts rigor and finesse, wracked with nervous tension. This time around, however, a democratic approach to the writing process was decided on, with each member contributing equally to the sound and feel of the record. The result is unmistakably the sound of MFMB, but reinvented for these tempestuous times.

The making of the album is a story in itself. "Sugar is seven years in the making, marking nine years since our last full-length release Colossus (2013). It has been a bumpy ride. The tours following Colossus took their toll, leaving us in a state of internal friction - infighting basically. Then when it finally came time to work on Sugar, when it was decided the process of composing songs should be a completely democratic one, tensions increased further. We were not always the best of friends. Priorities changed. Members quit, then joined again. It was never easy. But we feel you can hear it on the album, how every song is a result of differing opinions fighting it out until we landed. But in the end, it's MFMB, but ringing purer than ever before."

MFMB have remained prolific throughout their hiatus, which includes Joakim Lindberg becoming one of the underground scene's most in-demand producers, working with the likes of Hey Elbow, Spunsugar, This Is Head, and many more.

MFMB are also notorious for their blistering live performances. The combination of dual drummers and two lead singers has given the band a distinctly raw and visceral sound.

about

MFMB Malmö, Sweden

It all started in 2005 in Bollnäs, a town situated roughly in the middle of Sweden, when the members of MF/MB/ were just 17. Bored and angry at small-town narrow-mindedness they buried themselves in their music. At first, they played mostly cover songs, members came and went and turbulence prevailed. But then one day everything came together. ... more
