Spirit Desire—"Borrowed Time / Poison Sting" 7"

*THIS IS A PRE-ORDER! VINYL NOT EXPECTED TO SHIP UNTIL EARLY OCTOBER!*

Barely a month after their first material in 3 years, Spirit Desire dish out a surprise one-two punch in the form of another 7"! After the heart-melting indie rock of "Pets", new tracks "Borrowed Time" & "Poison Sting" offer another adventure into the world of hi-fi as the band leans into the heaviness of shoegaze & '90s alt-rock while staying firmly planted in the bright melodic sense that underpins their best work.

"Borrowed Time" is a cry for help nested in crushing sonics, a study in the quiet/loud pop dynamics of Pixies & Nirvana buoyed by vocalist K.K.'s mournful reflection on a relationship gone sour. "Poison Sting", on the other hand, is all forward motion—fuelled by a scorching vocal performance by drummer Kai Lumbang, the band rips through their heaviest song yet, pilfering from the likes of Deftones & early '00s screamo in equal measure. Both songs display the quintet's extreme range, smashing any preconceived notions of what move the band might make next. If genre-agnostic guitar music is Spirit Desire's world, the rest of us are just living in it.

MRMNG10, 7" translucent red vinyl record. 100 copies, released July 2025.
