A song that was born very naturally in rehearsal, it was first just a simple guitar riff that spilled out when I picked up second hand Gretsch. It’s one of our quieter moments that gently builds and broods. It embraces a lot more of Colm’s natural blues guitar style and Jeff Buckley influence, while drawing on early Hole and Radiohead as vocal and energy references. Thematically the lyrics fell naturally from me in the rehearsal where we just played and improvised - it’s a stream of consciousness that I think was born from the emotional and mental exhaustion we felt last year, balancing our double life of music and quote unquote real work. "Shaking Their Hands" is taken from SPRINTS’ new album "Letter to Self", out now on City Slang. Listen/Buy: sprints.lnk.to/LetterToSelfYD
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it live at Scala...can certainly hear Jeff Buckley vibes and I hope you follow in his footsteps ( not drowning obviously 🤦🏻♀️( but by being musical geniuses. ❤️
I love your synopses to the songs you’re posting. Fantastic album. Cannot wait to see you like. Reminds me of the the good old simpler times in the 80s, even though that cunt Thatcher was still in business. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Loving it all
I thought of Hole when I heard this on Tom Dunnes radio show the other night...But better. I love it !! I'd say I have played it 55 times..Same age as myself !! Cant wait to see ye live !!
Love it! I've heard this song in the midday show with Cheryl Waters at KEXP and wow! I'm very grateful to be presented to new music like this. Great album!!!
Loving this - still haven’t had a chance to open my vinyl offering from your brilliant band - but looking forward to hearing this on my vinyl player 🙌 - Baz
