Sydney Sprague
“smiley face”
New Single & Music Video Out Now
Sydney Sprague has released “smiley face” today via Rude Records. The song can be streamed wherever you consume music and fans can check out the music video on YouTube. The video, which was done entirely through CGI and a phone app called “in3D”, which takes viewers through an metaverse driven, wild world of Sydney and her band as avatars, complete with dancing and an epic ending of Sydney flying into the sun. “The visual parts of making music can be really stressful for me,” explains Sydney” “… so going into the making of this video the most important thing to me was that everyone involved was having a good time. That’s why I really love this video, because every part of it was us going “what’s the dumbest thing that could happen” and doing that.”
“smiley face: dance-y indie pop/rock. I wrote ‘smiley face’ about this dream I had that made me wake myself up because I was laughing really hard out loud, ” she continues.
“smiley face” is the first new release since “Think Nothing” released last year. Since then she’s been heavily on the road touring with acts like The Front Bottoms, Oso Oso, Jimmy Eat World, and Dashboard Confessional Making a name for herself in the states, Sydney Sprague has appeared as a live act supporting Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional and Movements to name a few. Her songs and music videos for “quitter”, “object permanence”, “staircase failure” and “steve” have grabbed the attention of places like Kerrang!, DIY, CLASH, NPR, Refinery29, Under The Radar, Atwood Magazine, UPROXX and more who steadily keep Sydney’s songs in their New Music Friday highlights of the week.
