    Produced by the band itself, these songs help bridge the gap between Annuals’ two full-length albums, taking their wild eclecticism from "Be He Me" but keeping the melodies that anchored "Such Fun."

    Here’s hoping Sweet Sister is the sound of a talented group shaking out some superficial songwriting ideas before getting down to it.

    The lyrics' yearning for something tangible and substantial ultimately feels at odds with what Sweet Sister, promising surface and all, actually brings to the table.

    Sweet Sister isn't as saccharine as one might expect. [Winter 2010, p.71]

    Annuals get a lot of criticism for genre jumping in their albums, which is bulls*it right? Sweet Sister is a perfect blend of sounds that is candy to the ears. They have not perfected their sound quite yet but their getting close. Sweet Sister has just the right amount of Rock n' Roll, soul, and honky tonk that will leave you craving the next Annuals LP.… Expand
