Dublin-based post-punk/garage band SPRINTS have aired the video for their brand new single "Literary Mind".
The song is out today (Aug 31) and follows-on from the ‘Modern Job’ EP which came out in March via Nice Swan Records. Grab it here
With Literary Mind, Sprints share another slice of cathartic, melodic and punchy punk-rock, produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band. The single bookends a busy summer for the band, which included supporting Liam Gallagher in Belfast and a massively popular Glastonbury set. The new run of dates follows two sold-out UK tours. The accompanying video is a feel-good romantic odyssey culminating in the band crashing proceedings with typical exuberance.
On the new single, Karla Chubb offers the following "Literary Mind is probably one of our most light-hearted songs in Sprints in terms of subject matter, while still exploring something quite close to heart. It's a real deep dive and exploration into the feeling of falling in love, particularly queer love, in which you feel like you've been conditioned to believe a heteronormative way of life is the only "right" way to live, which leads to incredible difficulty and emotional oppression.
You push these feelings down, ignoring them, praying them away even but eventually with acceptance comes a rush of emotion that you never thought you'd feel. You unlock, finally, what it means to be happy and with it comes the rollercoaster of emotions, hot sweats, fever dreams, happiness, giddiness and excitement that we've tried to capture in the energy and pace of the song."
