Sugar’s Keep Looping arrives on 25 June as another blast from the reunion nobody should take for granted. Bob Mould, David Barbe and Malcolm Travis are no longer simply trading on nostalgia; they are adding new songs to the Sugar bloodstream after more than three decades. Keep Looping is short, charged and agitated, with Mould pointing directly at the weird love-hate relationship between San Francisco, AI revivalism and the social and environmental costs of the technology boom. That subject could easily become stiff protest-rock, but Sugar know how to put anxiety inside power-pop muscle. The riff snarls, the song moves fast, and the title catches the modern curse perfectly: dopamine, drumbeat, lie, repeat. Sometimes a song needs less than two and a half minutes to say the loop is broken because the loop is working exactly as designed.
