SPRINT by Cid Rim

At the end of 2023, Clemens Bacher - otherwise known as Cid Rim - skipped Austrian winter for the first time in his life, opting instead for the sun drenched climes of Mexico. What emerged was his fourth studio album SPRINT - a technicolour ode to joy and a study in leaving your comfort zone - which will be released via LUCKYME® on Friday 27 June.

True to its name, SPRINT is always on the move. The album flies out of the blocks: from the playfully staccato “Thunderstruck”; to the blaring Leslie speakers in “Limbo” and the head banging energy of “Light Me Up”. The twelve tracks zip past in a multi-coloured blur of delightful earworms and big swings, drawing from 70s jazz fusion and the playbook of pop; all of it underpinned by Cid Rim’s wickedly clever drumming.
