Sprints have released two new songs, ‘Drones & Help Me, I’m Spiralling’ and ‘Drones’. They were both recorded during the sessions behind the Irish band’s debut album, Letter to Self, which came out in January. They’ve also announced an extensive tour that will take them across the US, UK, and Europe; check out the list of dates and listen to the new songs below.
“We’re happy to share the remnants of the chaos and catharsis that was the ‘Letter To Self’ recording process,” the band shared in a statement. “A reimagination of an old favourite, and a new track too, the Black Box Sessions include ‘Drones’ and ‘Help Me, I’m Spiralling’, two tracks that explore themes of uncertainty, anxiety and doubt. Embrace the madness and the noise.”
