SPRINTS have unveiled a new single called ‘Feast’. Produced by Dan Fox of Gilla Band, it marks the Dublin band’s first release with a new line-up that features Zac Stephenson on guitar, following the amicable departure of founding member Colm O’Reilly. Check out the song via the accompanying video below.
“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,” the band shared in a statement. “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.”
SPRINTS’ debut album, Letter to Self, arrived in January. A few months later, the band dropped the songs ‘Help Me, I’m Spiralling’ and ‘Drones’.
