The Cards Are Stacked

Sprints “How Does the Story Go?”

Karla Chubb’s voice is conversational through much of “How Does the Story Go?,” hashing out her neuroses and relationship troubles in an Irish accent that makes her irritable and exhausted tone seem rather funny and charming. She seems bored by her own story as she speak-sings over a guitar riff that’s compressed enough to sound like an accidentally musical piece of machinery. Chubb basically scraps her own narrative to shift gears on the chorus, cutting away all the bullshit to scream “I’M NOT FINE!!!” in an effort to say what she really is thinking, and to maybe get a “hey, I’m not fine either” from someone else in earshot.
