SPRINTS embrace their love of grunge and gothic for their new single 'Feast'
The track features new guitarist Zac Stephenson and precedes an extensive global tour.
SPRINTS have shared their new single 'Feast'.
It's their first release with a new line-up, now featuring Zac Stephenson on guitar, and arrives ahead of their imminent world tour.
'Feast' follows the January release of their debut album 'Letter To Self', support slots with IDLES and Pixies, and festivals including Glastonbury, End Of The Road, and All Together Now.
SPRINTS say of the track: "Pulling from our love of grunge and gothic, Feast is named as such because it explores the idea of gluttony, consumption and desire, particularly when it comes to sexuality and romance. In Ireland a lot of our first conscious experience of storytelling happens to be religious, due in most parts to the interlinking of our Catholic Church and state, particularly in education. The Bible stories and fables of good, bad, morality and sin were always pressed upon us. I thought it was interesting to use this iconography and imagery reimagined in a queer context. Feast is dark, gothic and sensual, encouraging us to unapologetically pursue our wants and desires."
