Irish band Sprints have announced their new album All That Is Over, will be released on September 26 via Sub Pop/City Slang. Today, the band has shared an official video, directed by Niamh Bryson, for their debut offering, “Descartes.” Inspired by a line in Rachel Cusk’s novel Outline – “Vanity is the curse of our culture” – it switches up the philosopher’s famous “I think therefore I am” into SPRINTS frontperson Karla Chubb’s own raison d’etre: “I speak so therefore I understand”. “A lot of the negativity you see in the world is rooted in vanity and the ego that your beliefs or identity are more important than somebody else’s,” she says. “‘Descartes’ explores the idea that writing for me is not just a tool to make music but a tool to process the world.”

In other news, Sprints have announced EU & UK dates in support of their forthcoming All That Is Over this summer and fall, including a standout festival appearance at Glastonbury and opening performances with Bloc Party and Fontaines D.C.
