SPRINTS have also shared a new song/video for their latest single “Better.” This aurally visceral song is off the band’s forthcoming new record, All That Is Over, out September 26th on Sub Pop for North America and City Slang for the rest of the world.
 
Directed by Niamh Bryson, “Better” is a song that “sounds like a love song but definitely isn’t,” shares frontperson Karla Chubb. “It explores the idea not of liking someone better, but only liking them when they’re better. It’s tough, sad, but honest and frank. It’s an old demo that was brought back in conversation by Sam and backed by Zac. It’s inspired quite heavily by MBV, especially the Loveless album, and has touches of Big Dreams by Amyl and the Sniffers.”
 
 All That Is Over is now available to preorder on CD/LP/DSPs from Sub Pop in North America and City Slang for the rest of the world. LP orders from both labels will receive the album on limited-edition marbled coral pink vinyl (while supplies last). The album features the standout and previously released songs “Rage”, “Beg,” and “Descartes,“ the latter of which Stereogum calls “…a feverish slasher.”
