Sports Team have returned with new single “I’m In Love (Subaru),” the track arrives ahead of their forthcoming album Boys These Days, dropping on February 28th via Distiller/Bright Antenna Records. The UK band have also announced, new UK tour dates, including an intimate show at Omeara in London on July 18th. The track arrives alongside a video directed by Dora Paphides (The Last Dinner Party’s “My Lady of Mercy”). Boys These Days was recorded in Bergen, Norway with producer Matthias Tellez (Girl in Red, (CMAT).

“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,” explains vocalist Alex Rice. “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.

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,” Rice continues. “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.”
