Oklahoma-based dream-pop duo Sports share their long awaited self-titled album, ‘Sports’. The 12-track project brings together a run of acclaimed singles released over the past year alongside a collection of brand-new songs that show the band sharpening and expanding their sound. Bright, rhythmic and textural, the album, led by focus track ‘Jelly’ moves between smooth, shimmering pop and more off-kilter, distorted moments, drawing from indie-pop, electronic and psychedelic influences without settling into a fixed identity.
Marking a major milestone in the duo’s career, Sports is the first project entirely self-produced by the band. Written, recorded and produced in a studio they built from scratch in their Tulsa hometown, the album is a complete realisation of their shared vision. It highlights not only their songwriting instincts, but their development as producers.
Across the record, Sports pull from a wide range of inspirations. Touchpoints span experimental pop frameworks, unpredictable production and expansive emotional writing - from A.G. Cook and Lady Gaga to U2 and Dr. Dre - alongside ideas drawn from David Byrne’s How Music Works. Rather than overt references, these influences quietly inform the album’s structure, textures and emotional tone, helping shape a sound that feels personal and fluid.
The record collates the band’s acclaimed pre-released singles - ‘Nice 2 Meet Myself (Bang Bang Bang)’, ‘If You Want Me’, ‘Keep Falling In Love’ and most recently ‘Drama King’ - alongside a set of brand-new tracks. Each single has been praised for its inventive blend of shimmering synths, psychedelic undertones, and left-of-center pop structures by outlets including Notion, Galore, LadyGunn, Fault, Ones To Watch, and Clash Magazine.
Throughout the album campaign, the duo have also continued to gain momentum across streaming and radio. ‘Drama King’ landed on the cover of Spotify’s New Music Friday US, alongside placements on Indie Pop, All New Indie, New Music Friday UK, The New Alt and The Indie List. Sports have also received airplay support from BBC 6 Music and John Kennedy’s Radio X show, signaling a growing international reach.
With ‘Sports’, the duo presents their most complete work to date - a self-contained project built entirely on their own terms.
In support of the release of ‘Sports’, the duo will embark on a Headline North American in April 2026, before heading overseas for a UK & EU tour in October.
