London indie rock band Sports Team have unveiled the video for their new single "The Drop"
The song is taken from their sophomore album 'GULP!', which will be out on September 22 via Island Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Speaking about the song, the band say, “It’s questioning a constant striving for achievement, never really enjoying the moments and ‘Katie dying waiting for the right time to retire’. Today the internet told me they’ve found ‘pits on the moon where humans could comfortably live and work’, brilliant.”
Working with director, filmmaker and architect A.T. Mann for the accompanying video, Mann adds, “When I stepped through the sonic journey of The Drop I dreamed of a poet caught in his own urban web of city lights, stuck there as the mind is being lost, knowing there is only one way out – letting it all go. Letting all the nonsense boundaries drop, taking the one leap into the unknown like the soul of the acrobat about to fly – or fall – stepping along the highwire of the one important quest - Creation. This reminded me of a beatnik poem by Laurence Ferenghetti called ‘Constantly Risking Absurdity’.”
London indie rock band Sports Team have unveiled the video for their new single "Cool It Kid"
The song is taken from their upcoming sophomore album 'GULP!', which will be released on Friday 22nd July 2022 via Island Records. Pre-order your copy here.
“Cool It Kid” is about “getting too deep in your stress about stuff and sometimes saying to yourself, ‘You know what, maybe sometimes you should sit back and it’s best not to react on your intense, irrational emotions,’” explains the band.
London indie rock band Sports Team have announced the release of their sophomore studio album 'GULP!'.
The follow-up to their 2020's debut album Deep Down Happy, will be released on Friday 22nd July 2022 via Island Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Signposting a bold and ambitious new era for the band, Sports Team explain that new single ‘R Entertainment’ explores “The packaging down of all human experience into entertainment, prompted by the infinite scroll through social feeds and the manic formlessness of the images we are hit with every day. Graphic news interrupted by ads for season 17 of The Bodyguard, news as a rubbernecking, passively waiting for the next drop of horror as we flick through recipes.”
From the band: Well, this is it. Another year, another dollar. We’re back with another album of pumped-up, market-ready indie rock (Plus Zinc!)! So, slip out of your Birkenstock clogs and into something a little less comfortable. An opening salvo for the apocalypse, ‘Gulp!’ Is Nostradamus with a fuzz pedal, Alex Joes doing slam poetry in the last wetherspoons standing after it all goes up in flames. It’s a trojan horse of happy, radio-ready indie rock, but don’t be fooled. The archangels come down from heaven to tell of the GOOD NEWS and are promptly baton-charged. The apocalypse begins and is largely lost in the background hum of instant-gratification, isotonic sports drinks and the weather. You can’t eat your NFTs in the nuclear winter, so grab your colleagues tight and join us in a song. All together now…"
