July 29, 2025 – Sydney Sprague has released another new single from her very anticipated upcoming album ‘Peak Experience’ out September 26. “Long Island” is half prayer, half spiral with lyrics blurring the tension between impulse and restraint. You can stream the song on all digital platforms via this link and watch the music video here at 2pm ET.

“When you have to choose between connection and self-preservation because the truth is too messy or just too impossible to communicate,” says Sydney on the new song. “It’s a desperate plea for a moment of relief from the horrors. It’s a genuine request for another long island iced tea.”

Sydney’s upcoming album ‘Peak Experience’ is a coming-of-age soundtrack for the chronically anxious and melodically inclined. Hailing from the sweltering surrealism of Phoenix, Arizona, she channels the heat and heaviness of modern existence into sharply crafted songs that balance existential dread with cathartic guitar riffs. Building on the raw honesty and sharp wit that earned her early acclaim from NPR, Refinery29, and Guitar World, ‘Peak Experience’ feels like the culmination of years spent touring, overthinking, and writing her way through it all. It’s an album for anyone who’s ever spiraled at 2 a.m., found solace in a chorus, or wondered if maybe the best way to process life is to just turn it into a song.

“Long Island” follows the previously released singles and music videos for ”Flat Circle” “Fair Field” and “As Scared As Can Be”, which can also be found on the upcoming album.

Sydney’s debut album, maybe i will see you at the end of the world, released in 2020, earned glowing reviews. Critics praised her for her honesty, wit, and ability to evade an impending mental breakdown by instead writing a really good song. Sydney has had a busy five years since then, writing and releasing her second album somebody in hell loves you in between a relentless touring schedule – supporting bands like Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, The Front Bottoms, Oso Oso, Spanish Love Songs, and Michigander.

With songs that pair unforgettable melodies and sick guitar riffs over the general feeling that you left the stove on, Sydney has been quietly building a discography that speaks directly to the overthinking masses.
