SPRINTS Release Two Explosive New Singles “Rage” and “Beg”
On September 26th, Dublin band SPRINTS will release their sophomore record All That Is Over on Sub Pop for North America and City Slang for the rest of the world. All That Is Over is a remarkable second effort that pushes the band’s dynamics into richer territory, finding new space and nuance while also going harder than ever.
Following the release of their debut single, “Descartes,“ which Stereogum calls “… a feverish slasher,” comes the release of two new singles, “Rage” and “Beg” SPRINTS frontperson, Karla Chubb, says of both singles:
“Rage”: “I think in the world today, it’s a lot easier to be angry than it is to help facilitate change. People are fatigued, disillusioned - it’s understandable, but we shouldn’t be pointing the finger at those already marginalised and making them shoulder the blame. The world is full of false prophets and false promises; it’s time we call them out. Don’t let the rage bait fuel the fire and burn us all in the process.
Sonically, I was pretty consumed by Dandy Warhols and Viagra Boys during the writing of this album so I feel like that’s seeped its way into the subconscious of the song. The rumbling, desert, garage influence that almost feels like a tumbleweed of chaos blowing across the track in the guitars.”
“Beg:” “‘Beg’ is a track that represents a lot of the key motifs, themes and topics we explore across the album. Sonically, it’s a sum of all of the parts, new and old, that make up the sound of All That Is Over. Inspired originally by a line in a Vladimir Holan poem, “Beg” is written in part as a joke, a call and response to the question, “Is Karla Jesus?” that was written atop a moodboard when we were brainstorming ideas for a music video.
It’s tongue in cheek, it’s satirical, and it pokes fun at the idea that often it’s those in positions of power that preach their moral codes and judgments, while committing the most heinous crimes themselves. Meanwhile, the communities often under attack are just aiming to exist and to live. It’s an exploration of the self, sexuality, lust, ambition, but also my own shortcomings and the constant battle to be better.”
As previously announced, SPRINTS have shared EU & UK dates in support of their forthcoming All That Is Over this summer and fall, including a standout festival appearance at Glastonbury and opening performances with Bloc Party and Fontaines D.C. See below for a complete list of shows—more International dates to be announced.
