Catalog Number: RDR290D1 Color: Magenta Format: LP UPC: 8054521841972 When Sydney Sprague started writing songs for this record during covid lockdown it felt like the movie had ended and the credits had rolled on life but she believed we were all still here for some reason. With experiencing everything as just floating in this void, Sydney felt like she had all the time in the world to just do whatever she wanted. It was weirdly the most free she have ever felt, writing became a way to entertain herself and laugh. Sydney spent a lot of time reflecting on the past and the people around her, processing things she had never been able to. She got to approach making music in new ways that never had the space to try before. Sprague decided to become more brutally honest than she had ever been. "The fact that I'm able to share these songs now feels a little scary because when I was writing them they were really just for me, but I hope they can bring people the same sense of escape that they brought me." Sydney made a huge mark on hearts last year with her earnest songwriting, which made an immediate connection with fans and writers at places like NPR, Refinery29, FLOOD Magazine, UPROXX, Alternative Press, Atwood Magazine, The Alternative, Guitar World, Substream Magazine, and Under The Radar. She was also a guest on Hanif Abdurraqib's 'Object of Sound' podcast.

"When I started writing songs for this record during covid lockdown it felt like the movie had ended and the credits had rolled on life but we were all still here for some reason. Everything was just floating in this void and because of that I felt like I had all the time in the world to just do whatever I wanted.
