Sydney Sprague New Album Out Now
‘somebody in hell loves you’, the new album from Phoenix based indie singer songwriter Sydney Sprague is out. The 11 tracks follow 2021’s ‘maybe i will see you at the end of the world’ which caught the attention of Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, Oso Oso, and The Front Bottoms who brought her out on tour for a bunch of their runs. On ‘somebody in hell loves you’, Sydney channels her sadness, anxiety, and existential dread through driving guitars, shimmering melodies, and the deceptively sweet weapons of indie pop-rock and keen observation.
“terrible places” is anxiety encapsulated in a song. “It’s about imagining the worst thing possible that could happen to you or someone you love,” says Sydney. “It’s what goes on in my brain all day, every day. I’ll immediately jump to the worst conclusion if something feels a little off. One day my mom called me and said my dad wasn’t answering his phone. I called him, too. Only a few hours passed, but I was convinced he died on his way to work or something like that. He was fine. I wrote the song about the real-time, spiraling inner “monologue when I’m convinced of the worst.”
Sydney Sprague recently finished a tour directly supporting Pool Kids with Chase Petra and just announced her first ever headline tour, kicking off November 9 in San Diego, CA and going through December 15, ending in her hometown of Phoenix, AZ at The Rebel Lounge.
