Sprints have just announced their second album, All That Is Over.
The Irish punks will follow-up last year’s excellent Letter To Self with a record that hears the band ‘trying to make sense of a society gone mad’, according to a press release. It’ll drop on September 26 via City Slang/Sub Pop, with lead single Descartes out now.
“Descartes was written on a plane while reading Outline by Rachel Cusk,” explains Karla Chubb. “Sparked directly from the line, ‘Vanity is the curse of our culture,’ the rest of the song spilled out of me quite instantaneously. Descartes explores the idea of needing to write and create as a means of survival, not just a means of expression, and how important that is to me as a person to try to understand and process the world around me.”
