Oh, how I adore you Sports Team. No seriously I do.
I could go on some giant gonzo rant and go completely cerebral, but I’ll keep it short and simple. In case you weren’t aware their newest song ‘Happy’ was released on Wednesday.
This is the first taste of Sports Team since the debut album Deep Down Happy, released last May, and the absolute carnage that was the chart race against the dreaded Lady Gaga (damn you Gaga, Chromatica was amazing but come on, you didn’t really need the top spot did you now?)
You’re never sure what the latest installment of Sports Team will be. From singing about getting a bad haircut to driving down the M5, this London indie group (the cool kind of indie) have got all bases covered.
Right, so, anyway, there’s something so addictive about any Sports Team song that you just need to listen to it for a couple of hours while lying on the floor staring at the ceiling to just try and decipher what the fuck you have actual just subjected your ears to. They just never miss a beat though, do they? It’s just non-stop and joyously unhinged. The best thing about Sports Team is that they can just chat shit and make it sound like the best thing you’ve ever heard. They could just list off the ingredients in hand soap and a tenner bet I would still scream every single word.
Yeah, the song is amazing exactly what you want from a Sports Team track. Alex’s distinct and annoyingly good vocals, the cheesy clapping effect, the sleazy guitars, and dirty bass tied together with Alex’s drumming expertise.
Moving on swiftly to the accompanying music video, where do we even start?
“Let’s set fire to Ben and then Morris Dance.”
“Yeah, sounds sick mate.”
Just don’t watch it if you’re not in a stable state of mind, who knows if you’ll recover from seeing guitarist, Rob Knaggs in a waistcoat and breeches.
We really missed you guys, or maybe we didn’t, the verdict is still out.
