Sprints by Niamh Barry
Sprints’ debut album is out on January 5th.
Sprints have shared Heavy, the final single from their imminent Letter To Self LP.
“If Ticking is the sonic iteration of anxiety, then Heavy is its literal counterpart,” Karla Chubb said.
The brutally cacophonous sound communicates how it feels to be paralysed and inspired by anxiety, pairing intrusive thoughts, panic and intensity with that anxiety inducing build. Heavily inspired my early Bauhaus records and PJ Harvey’s Is This Desire? it draws a heavy influence from 80s gothic-the purposeful space reflecting the isolating nature of panic.
The band will be treating Europe to a big double bill with English Teacher next month, while a UK and Ireland tour is booked for April and May.
