JULY 24, 2024 – Sydney Sprague has teamed up with Kississippi on a dreamy new single called “tell me”. The song can be found on the upcoming deluxe version of Sydney’s album ‘somebody in hell still loves you’ to be released on September 13 via Rude Records. The song can be streamed now here and the music video can be seen here.

“I wrote ‘tell me’ for a songwriting contest for an indie movie,” says Sydney on the new song. “I lost the contest, but I always really liked it and I’ve been holding on to it hoping it would have its’ time eventually.”

‘somebody in hell loves you’ deluxe will feature four new songs and guest appearances from the aforementioned Kississippi, Kevin Devine and Pool Kids. It will be released in vinyl format, in a neon green and light blue variant. Sydney’s beloved debut album “maybe i will see you at the end of the world” is also being reissued in a new white with red splatter variant.

Praise for ‘somebody in hell loves you’

“There’s a certain spirit carried in early ’00s pop-rock, one that is rarely captured and recreated faithfully these days. But Sydney Sprague, whether subconsciously or consciously, seems to have cracked it on Somebody In Hell Loves You” – Kerrang Magazine

“a fresh, feverish, and unavoidable voice in the indie rock genre. “smiley face” starts the next chapter: Sprague’s first single of the year is a spirited seduction that comes to life with soaring sonics and raw, unfiltered passion.” – Atwood Magazine

“your new alt-pop queen is here” – idobi Radio

“…confident vocals to lyrics that sound as if she’s rocking the They Live sunglasses for the first time”

– Flood Magazine

“ranges from fuzzy indie-punk to bright alt-pop” – Brooklyn Vegan

Self-aware with a knowing injection of dark humor, her songs summon the best of 90s alt-rock and classic power-pop without sacrificing a melancholy befitting of the end times. Her music is intimate, vulnerable, confrontational, autobiographical, and strangely uplifting. Her sophomore record, ‘somebody in hell loves you’, is as devilishly saccharine as the title implies, boldly accessible and smart.

Her music caught the attention of publications like Kerrang!, DIY, CLASH, NPR, Refinery29, Under The Radar, Atwood Magazine, UPROXX and more who steadily kept her songs in their New Music Friday highlights of the week. She’s also been added to Spotify’s top indie playlists such as Fresh Finds and Amazon’s Fresh Indie.
