Now Sports (Ö)

The album „God Is A Dancer“ is the first release of the band now sports who were founded in 2014 and have been around the block with a changing line-up ever since.

While classic drumming provided the beat in their early days, they now utilize electronic loops instead of a live drumkit. With tracks mostly written in 2021 and 2022, the EP was produced almost exclusively with a home studio set-up.
Though the first track sports trap-adjacent samples and hi-hat figures, the EP soon shifts away from clichés, showcasing their unique handwriting full of trippy melodic arcs over sluggish beats mix with noise. There is no pigeon-holing the guitar; the vocals ‒ partly rapped, partly sung ‒ also come with their own unique touch, resulting in distinctly unconventional song structures. Richie Herbst's modular synthesizer and the vocals by Alexandra Steßl and Michl Laab embark on a journey towards something resembling musical experimentation and suggest that improvisation ‒ especially during live shows ‒ is a defining factor for their sound.
