Sprinters Share Video for Missing

RayRay and I have both been pretty high upon the forthcoming album from Sprinters, but before the band drop Struck Gold this Friday, they wanted to be sure you had one more reason to grab the LP. “Missing” is one of the record’s standouts, fueled by the perfect juxtaposition between too-cool-for-school vocals and enthusiastic guitar fuzz; it all gels so perfectly that in the end, you’ll find they’ve crafted the perfect sentiment in one tight little pop number. The accompanying video is great, especially for US audiences who might not get the chance to catch the Manchester band too often; they’re clearly enjoying playing together here. Fun times and fun pop win every time; you can grab the LP this Friday from Meritorio Records.

Sprinters Share 3s & 4s

It’s shaping up to be an energetic and fun Friday, so lets fill it with a little bit more upbeat indiepop to take you into the weekend. Sprinters have already shared one track off their forthcoming Struck Gold LP, and here we have the band providing a dreamy dose of energy to the difficult subject of losing a friend. I love the way the guitars seem to have this sort of glimmering sheen to them; it gives a touch of brightness to the song’s dreamier sense of melancholy…it’s that juxtaposition that makes this song so memorable. You’ll be able to grab the LP from the esteemed Meritorio Records on November 15th.

 

Sprinters Announce New Album

Man it’s been a bit over 5 years since I last heard from my musical friend Neil Jarvis. Apparently he’s since ditched his solo career, and now the Manchester based artist is focusing on his new band Sprinters. Having already released a debut LP, the group now has plans to release new album Struck Gold on November 15th via Meritorio Records. Prior to the release, Jarvis just sent over this hot new number called “Ending” to preview the upcoming album. It’s full of jangly guitars with a lovely, washed out yet engaging sound throughout.
