Sydney Sprague on Peak Experience, Going Independent & Finding Fun in Heartbreak
Sydney Sprague joins me to talk about her upcoming album Peak Experience (out September 26), the art of short records, touring with Spanish Love Songs, and why Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) called her single Flat Circle the “song of the year.”
We dig into:
-How she picks singles (and why one-minute songs still count!)-Balancing heartbreak and fun in her songwriting-Going fully independent on this record-Meme culture sneaking into her lyrics-Touring with Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, and The Front Bottoms-The story of “Fairfield” (and that wild night in Hays, Kansas 🍏🥴)
