Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine
25 September 2024
2024 is the breakthrough year for supersonic
Irish post-punk turbine SPRINTS.
Their rad riff ‘n’ roll debut LP Letter To Self, released in the first week
of January, caused/causes shock waves among critics and old/new fans.
And back in May they dropped 2 new tracks recorded at the album
sessions. Two incendiary bursts, Help Me, I’m Spiralling and Drones.
.
And while they are touring (with a new guitarist) they
just unleashed another new piece, titled FEAST.
“Pulling from our love of grunge and gothic, Feast is named as such because it explores the idea of gluttony, consumption and desire, particularly when it comes to sexuality and romance. In Ireland a lot of our first conscious experience of storytelling happens to be religious, due in most parts to the interlinking of our Catholic Church and state, particularly in education. The Bible stories and fables of good, bad, morality and sin were always pressed upon us. I thought it was interesting to use this iconography and imagery reimagined in a queer context.”
Feast is a steaming stormer, encouraging us to
unapologetically pursue our wants and desires.
Wake up people.
Sprints hit again.
HARD.
