Following a busy summer including a standout appearance at Glastonbury, Sprints have returned with a good old-fashioned double A side single ‘Rage/Beg’ from their upcoming album ‘All That Is Over’.

While ‘Rage’ digs into Sprints love of acts like The Dandy Warhols, ‘Beg’ mixes a rarely seen love of electronica with the grittier corner of post punk. The tracks arrive as the band have just been announced as  support for Fontaines DC on selected dates on their tour..

“I think in the world today, it’s a lot easier to be angry than it is to help facilitate change” says Karla Chubb on Rage. “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’ is a track that represents a lot of the key motifs, themes and topics we explore across the album.” add Karla Chubb. “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.”

Rage, Beg and previous single Descartes appear on Sprints forthcoming album ‘All That Is Over’, produced by Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox. The album is set for release on September 26th via City Sland and Sub Pop.

To celebrate the release of the album Sprints will perform an instore at Tower Records, Dublin on release day as well as a signing in Spindizzy Records. Sprints will then return to Ireland in November for shows in Dublin and Belfast.
