With ‘Letter To Self’ Sprints have produced an album brutally sincere and private. They haven’t been afraid to precise the sensation of being an outsider, of in search of validation, of trying to beat self-doubt. The human situation and thus society is advanced and tough to navigate however Sprints haven’t been afraid to precise uncertainty and vulnerability. And all of the whereas they’ve enveloped these themes in probably the most superb noise for us all to search out consolation and lose ourselves in.
Out now on Metropolis Slang, new single ‘Feast’ tries to queer Biblical language whereas zeroing in on our innermost needs. “Darkish, gothic and sensual” say the band themselves, and now we have no motive to doubt them – it’s one other guitar blaster.
