On September 26th, Dublin band SPRINTS will release their sophomore record All That Is Over.

The groundwork that SPRINTS laid down with their 2024 debut, Letter To Self marked them as a musical triple threat amongst the alternative landscape: a visceral live band capable of selling out increasingly sizeable tours, who could earn five-star reviews and standout coverage in NME, DIY, Stereogum, Pitchfork, and PASTE. 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.
 
Their new album, 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. 

Today, the 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.” 

SPRINTS 'All That Is Over' is now available to pre-order on LP/CD/Digital
