Dublin noise-rockers Sprints have unleashed the final single from this Friday’s debut album.
The band’s vocalist Karla Chubb shares that this latest effort – which goes by the apt title Heavy – is a “literal counterpart” to the “sonic iteration of anxiety” which is contained within LP predecessor Ticking.
“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,” Karla explains. “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.”
Heavy is taken from Sprints’ debut album Letter To Self, which is released on January 5 via City Slang Records.
