Recently, Ridgeway released the title track from her upcoming LP. The energetic single adds another log to the bonfire of anticipation for Sprinter. The title track is a crunch yet jangly indie rock tune highlighting Ridgeway’s songwriting prowess and palpable energy. The lyrics tell the tale of a procrastinator attempting to keep up with the trivialness of everyday life while working towards what is important to them. The narrative is enticing and is delivered via heartfelt vocals with the velocity of a firework and the charm like a sincere smile. This story flies over a warping arrangement that transitions from guitar balladry to ferocious punk in the blink of an eye. Ridgeway’s “Sprinter” is a nostalgic yet refreshing take on indie rock with nuanced fusion work that brings the listener into the story with sincerity and sonic expertise.
