SPRINTS‘ sophomore effort, “All That Is Over,” is a remarkable second effort that pushes the band’s dynamics into richer territory, finding new space and nuance while also going harder than ever.
Written on tour buses, in soundchecks, and very much in real time, it’s an album set against the backdrop of a litany of atrocities – the war in Gaza, the wildfires in LA, Trump’s executive order denying the rights of trans people – that sees SPRINTS trying to make sense of a society gone mad. The 11-track long player features the standout singles, “Descartes,” “Rage,” “Beg,” and “Better,” and was produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band at La Frette studio outside of Paris.
Since the SPRINTS‘ inception, they have established a name for themselves, crafting a ferocious live show that echoes the band’s recorded sound, equal parts raw and refined, catapulting listeners into controlled chaos.
Directed by Niamh Bryson, “Better” is a song that “sounds like a love song but definitely isn’t,” shares frontperson Karla Chubb. “It explores the idea not of liking someone better, but only liking them when they’re better. It’s tough, sad, but honest and frank. It’s an old demo that was brought back in conversation by Sam and backed by Zac. It’s inspired quite heavily by MBV, especially the Loveless album, and has touches of Big Dreams by Amyl and the Sniffers.”
SPRINTS will visit America with a headline run in early 2026 (see our Tours page for more)!
