Sprints have dropped another single from their imminent debut album.
Following Shadow Of A Doubt, Literary Mind, Adore Adore Adore and Up And Comer, Heavy is propelled by climactic abrasive guitar riffs coupled with intense vocals. Singer Karla Chubb commented:
"If Ticking is the sonic iteration of anxiety, then Heavy is its literal counterpart. 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."
Influenced by the likes of early Pixies, Bahaus and Siouxsie Sioux, it marks the final preview of 'Letter To Self', which is due out through City Slang Records tomorrow (January 5). Press play below.
The Dublin four-piece will support the LP with a UK and Ireland tour in the spring, as well as appearances at Bearded Theory festival and Live at Leeds in the Park. They also have European and US dates in the diary for February and March.
