Indie pop-rock singer-songwriter Sydney Sprague has released her new single and music video for ‘Fair Field’, marking her first fully independent release. The track dives headfirst into chaos, capturing the disorienting experience of a bad trip in a hotel room while on tour—an unfiltered reflection of anxiety and the unpredictable nature of life on the road.
She says “I wrote ‘Fair Field’ last summer after a full-blown panic attack on tour, triggered by an edible in a hotel room in Hays, Kansas. The song carries this underlying tension—almost playful, but also unsettling—that originally captured the chaos of life on the road. Lately, though, it feels like a reflection of the world at large, everything unraveling in real time. I recorded it at home with my band (Chuck Morriss, Sébastien Deramat, and Matt Storto), marking my first independent release in a long time. Reclaiming full creative control has been incredibly freeing—it’s all about making music I love, on my own terms, and just having fun with it again.”
Even in the midst of uncertainty, Sydney finds humor in the madness—though no distraction can completely silence the weight of everything caving in. The truth is unbearable, the knowing and not knowing all at once. But if nothing else, Fair Field reminds us that no high, or low, lasts forever.
