An Irish Choice Music Prize nod from critical corners but also land themselves on BBC Radio One. Throughout 2024 alone, they toured the UK, Europe, and America twice, ending the year with a celebratory, sold-out show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir new album, \u003cem\u003eAll That Is Over\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band has shared an official video, directed by Niamh Bryson, for their debut offering, “Descartes”. Inspired by a line in Rachel Cusk’s novel Outline - “Vanity is the curse of our culture” - it switches up the philosopher’s famous “I think therefore I am” into Sprints frontperson Karla Chubb’s own raison d’etre: “I speak so therefore I understand”. “A lot of the negativity you see in the world is rooted in vanity and the ego that your beliefs or identity are more important than somebody else’s,” she says. “‘Descartes’ explores the idea that writing for me is not just a tool to make music but a tool to process the world.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbandon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo The Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescartes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething’s Gonna Happen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComing Alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"City Slang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51529010643290,"sku":"SLANG50603","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/sprints-all-that-over.jpg?v=1750835898","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/sprints-all-that-is-over-cd","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
