Soot Sprite’s All My Friends Are Depressed is the first single from their upcoming debut album, Wield Your Hope Like A Weapon, out May 16 via Specialist Subject. The track offers a raw reflection on the widespread mental health crisis, with songwriter Elise Cook confronting both personal and societal struggles. The Exeter-based trio blends shimmering alt-indie melodies with a shoegaze edge, crafting a sound that is both cathartic and deeply intimate. With influences ranging from Soccer Mommy to Ovlov, Soot Sprite’s debut LP is shaping up to be an urgent, emotionally charged statement on empathy, hope, and resilience.
