February 2021 – Singapore – “quitter”, the new single from Sydney Sprague is streaming now on all digital platforms. Call it a “classic break up song” if you will. “I started writing it on my way home from band practice one night, which happened to be on the same street as my ex-boyfriend’s house,” says Sydney.
“We had just broken up and I didn’t know if I made the right call. Part of me was hoping I would run into him (figuratively, not with my car). Everything in my life was changing, and my instinct was to run back to safety, but I couldn’t forget all of the reasons I left. This song is about having that internal debate, scream-singing along to Phoebe Bridgers out your car window, feeling the hot wind on your face, and letting go of the wheel…metaphorically, of course.”
The song is taken from her upcoming album ‘maybe i will see you at the end of the world’ out February 26th, 2021 through Rude Records. It is available for pre-order at: music.ruderecords.com/miwsyateotw
“It is a fundamental concept in the development of infants, and sometimes I feel like I struggle with it as an adult,” says Sydney on “object permanence”. “Not literally, but if you’ve ever been in a long-distance relationship, you can probably relate. This song is about settling into that feeling of separation and trying to get comfortable.”
Her sobgs and music videos for “objective permanence”, “staircase failure” and “steve”, which grabbed the attention of places like NPR, Refinery29, UPROXX and outlets in Southeast Asia such as Pulp, Manila Bulletin, LionhearTV and Asia Live 365 along with adds on Apple Music – New Music Daily playlists across Southeast Asia and KKBOX 西洋獨立最前線 playlist.
Her upcoming album ‘maybe i will see you at the end of the world’ was recently featured as one of 2021’s Most Anticipated with Arizona Republic and Chorus.FM.
Sydney Sprague makes music for the end of the world. With everything seemingly imploding in on itself, there’s one thing we can all try to be: authentic, and that’s the one word that best describes Sydney’s songwriting. There’s a connection felt immediately between Sydney and the listener. She’s able to vocalize everything everyone can’t put into words sometimes, and holds a rhythm that blurs the line between melancholy and elation.
