The music on Sweet Tooth marked a departure for Butler from his usual writing style. "I fell in love with bands like Modern Baseball and Front Bottoms and Joyce Manor, so I wanted to write songs like that"
This album takes many of the riffs and licks from its predecessor and pushes them to the forefront and allows every track to primarily be built around these aspects.
These tuneful songs convey how it feels to be young and hopeless in modern America - a cracked cellphone clutched in one's hand, subconsciously refreshing social media, hoping to get noticed by that girl at the party.
