THIRD STUDIO LP PRODUCED BY MATIAS TELLEZ (GIRL IN RED, CMAT, GRACIE ABRAMS),
SPORTS TEAM release new single ‘Maybe When We’re 30’ alongside a video directed by the band themselves. Written as a sarcastic but sincere ode to settling down, ‘Maybe When We’re 30’ taps into another side of Sports Team, where the wistfulness that often lurks in their lyricism comes to the fore. Over a pensive groove that sounds like a cross between Pulp and The National, they craft a gently euphoric anthem as gripping and exhilarating as anything they’ve done before.
Lyricist Rob Knaggs elaborates, “It’s a song for Brooklyn Beckham. When you start off in a band you feel like Slurms Mackenzie (the Futurama party slug). You can’t believe it’s your job to travel around the world and drink beer and make music with your friends. And then one morning you look around, and all your friends are getting married, and you think, maybe all I really want is to grow old, and get a dog, and write horrible things about Brooklyn Beckham on Facebook, and go on cruises, and have petty disputes with my neighbours about whether the council recycles cardboard.”
‘Maybe When We’re Thirty’ will feature on Sports Team’s upcoming studio album, Boys These Days, out May 23rd on Distiller Records/Bright Antenna. Alex Rice, Oli Dewdney, Al Greenwood, Rob Knaggs, Ben Mack, and Henry Young recorded Boys These Days with producer Matias Tellez (Girl In Red, CMAT, Gracie Abrams) in his Bergen Norwegian studio.
