Sydney Sprague celebrates a huge moment with the release of her new single “Long Island”, out now and glowing with emotion, sharp detail and indie rock intensity. The track arrives ahead of her upcoming album ‘Peak Experience’, out September 26, and it moves with a mix of prayerful longing and spiraling tension. Sydney channels impulse, restraint and the weight of honesty into a song that feels instantly unforgettable.
She shares the heart behind “Long Island” with complete clarity. She says, “When you have to choose between connection and self-preservation because the truth is too messy or just too impossible to communicate. It’s a desperate plea for a moment of relief from the horrors. It’s a genuine request for another long island iced tea.” Her voice brings a vivid spark to every lyric, carrying the full emotional gravity of that moment.
‘Peak Experience’ stands as a coming of age soundtrack for the chronically anxious and melodically inclined, shaped by the surreal heat of Phoenix and the heaviness of modern life. Sydney blends existential dread with bright, cathartic guitars and melodic brilliance, building on the honesty and wit that earned early support from NPR, Refinery29 and Guitar World. The album reflects years of touring, writing and searching for meaning in the middle of late night spirals and sudden clarity.
“Long Island” joins the growing wave of excitement around the record, following the previously released singles “Flat Circle”, “Fair Field” and “As Scared As Can Be”. Each track offers another piece of the emotional landscape that ‘Peak Experience’ brings into focus.
