critically acclaimed debut album, Sprints have shared two new singles and announced a huge run of tour dates. Find ticket details below.The pair of tracks arrived under the banner of the ‘Black Box Sessions’, and are particularly angsty singles titled ‘Drones’ and ‘Help Me, I’m Spiralling’.Both were recorded during the sessions for Spirits’ breakthrough debut album, ‘Letter To Self’, which arrived at the start of the year to critical acclaim, and has already been tipped by many as ready to become a contender for album of the year in 2024.‘Drones’ is a reimagining of a past track and comes in at just shy of three-minutes long – bursting to life with high-energy riffs, distorted guitars and a brash vocal melody. “The graveyards fill, the dancefloors fill/ The bar stools fill, but everyone’s empty,” sings frontwoman Karla Chubb. “The desk chairs fill, the sickbeds fill/ The car parks fill, but I’m still empty.”For the most part, the Irish indie-punk four-piece follow a similar structure with ‘Help Me, I’m Spiralling’ – capturing an aggressive burst of energy from the opening line: “It’s another dim day, wasting away in this slow vicarious life/ I’m feeling photosensitive on this faux fence I sit on just watching it all pass by.”The latter also comes alongside an orange-tinged trippy lyric video.

Check both tracks out below.“We’re happy to share the remnants of the chaos and catharsis that was the ‘Letter To Self’ recording process,” the band said of the new releases.“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.
