Sports Team have returned with new single ‘I’m In Love (Subaru)’ and confirmed details of their third studio album.
New album Boys These Days follows 2022’s Gulp! and will be released on February 28, 2025 via Distiller Records and Bright Antenna.
Discussing the album’s first single, vocalist Alex Rice said: “The song captures that tension between those glossy inanimate objects you can project any desire onto versus all the stuff that creeps in behind it.
“It should be a very uncomplicated love song, talking about cars and how people perceive their relationships, but with humanity, nothing is ever that simple.”
Rice added: “Having been in London guitar world for a quite while, I began looking at people like Bryan Ferry and how it can be a bit more fun if you play around with characters.
“He looks like he’s having a better time than a lot of the bands from our generation, and that’s what you want to be shooting for. The video we did with Dora really taps into that dramatic side too. It’s something that has always been there, but it felt right to really explore it around this song.”
Later this year, Sports Team will head out on a headline tour of the UK. See the dates below and buy tickets here from 10am BST on July 26.
