The Fader | Songs You Need In Your Life This Week

“I’m no good at overconsumption,” Jack Nugent sings as he scrolls infinitely, memes and atrocities blurring into one glob of content. “Sandcastle Molds” is an itchy song for disaffected times with Nugent describing his descent into a perceived irrelevance. That same pang of malaise can be found in the music, a combination of off-kilter drums and brass instruments that arrive with a sense of defeat. “Sandcastle Molds” may diagnose the world with hopelessness, but there is some comfort in being gently guided into the pits with a smart, heartfelt song such as this. —David Renshaw
